Tsimshian

Animal Friend: Ferret Introduced in: Native Lights

Appearance
Tsimshian is a light blue-grey horse, with red and yellow tribal markings on her legs, and a red and yellow drawing of the sun on her flank. Her mane and tail are white, and she wears a yellow and red harness.

Tribe
The tribe this steed is based on were located on the coast of British Columbia just south of Alaska, near Terrance and Prince Rupert. They had very friendly tribal relations with the Tlingit and the Haida.

The Tsimshian fished for salmon and halibut. They hunted for seal, sea otters and sea lions. Like the Tlingit, they built large and elaborate longhouses out of wood. Though they share many cultural traits with the Tlingit, they do not share their language.
