Haida Native American Woodpecker Tattoo with Tribal Design

A Chumash Indian myth tells that the world was once devastated by a great deluge, and every living thing drowned in the flood. But the woodpecker saved himself by climbing to the top of the world's tallest tree, where he ate acorns and stayed alive. This cheerful fellow is drawn in the style of the NorthWest Coast Haida Indians, and perched on his symbolic tree.
