Lovebirds
Haida and Tlingit Indians have two main clans, the Eagles and the Ravens. Traditionally, members of the same clan cannot marry, so marriages typically signify the joining of an eagle to a raven. Designs linking eagle and raven, known as the lovebirds, are popular in items such as bracelets and rings, given as gifts between couples of these clans.
