“The Spirit of the Hummingbird”

In the time when the world was new and the forest still remembered the songs of creation, the Great Spirit sent a tiny being made of light and wind — the Hummingbird.

She was born to carry hope across silence and to remind all living things that even the smallest heart can hold the fire of the sun. With wings that shimmered like turquoise and amber, she danced between flowers, stitching the earth and sky together with every beat.

The elders say that the Hummingbird is a healer of hearts. Wherever she hovers, sorrow fades. Her spirit teaches that beauty does not come from strength or size, but from the courage to keep moving, even when storms surround you.

And when the people carved her image upon their totems, they did so not to worship her, but to remember her message —

“Carry light within you, no matter how heavy the world becomes.”
