Acceptance Paddle Copper Cedar RootCoast Salish Yellow Cedar, Cedar Root, Copper 62" x 6" x 1" "This paddle is about acceptance or convergence. I find even today there seems to be struggle with people accepting each other for where they are at individually as people. Its about everyone living together with acceptance rather than judgement. It is also about different cultures converging and intermingling and influences from many cultural backgrounds." Angela Marston
