Description
Otters are considered lucky animals in many Native American cultures the giver of great fortunes. The otter is a symbol of loyalty and honesty in some West Coast tribes, but in northern British Columbia and the Alaskan coast, river otters were associated with ghosts and drowning and were regarded by the people with awe and dread.
