*** About Striped Skunks: Stripped skunks are small, North American mammals known for their distinctive white stripes and ability to spray a highly odiferous liquid as a defense against predators. These creatures are highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of habitats, including wooded areas such as those depicted in the artwork. Skunks are omnivorous, eating both plant and animal matter, and play a significant role in controlling insect and rodent populations. Their depiction in art often symbolizes defense, prudence, and survival. The presence of First Nations motifs in the artwork also hints at the spiritual and totemic significance these animals hold in various indigenous cultures.
