Salix - Winalagalis (In the Wake of the War Canoe)
Salix
By my gaze, men turn to stone Leaving behind the lives they had known Crashing across the waves from the northlands below The power of my totem-crest my enemies behold Bearing mount to the chosen few Leaving the dead in the wake of the war canoe Power I grant to my favored warriors Fearsome and invulnerable in the face of pain and death I have become wolf-over-man I have become wolf-under-raven Six horns of power surmounting my heads Winalagalis, the legends have said Bringer of Tseka, flanked by the serpents Waging war across the world
6:12

Winter Ceremonial is an homage to the stories of the Kwakwakaʼwakw.
