Frog is a creature of great importance in Northwest Coast art and culture. As a creature that lives in two worlds (water and land), the frog is celebrated for its adaptability, knowledge and power to travel the two worlds effortlessly and inhabit diverse realms, both natural and supernatural. Frogs are primary spirit helpers of the shamans.

Frog is a great communicator and often represents the common ground or voice of the people. These are vocal, singing creatures, and the voice and song are believed to contain divine power and magic. In the art, Frog is often shown sharing its tongue or touching tongues with another creature in an exchange of knowledge and power.

Frog is often associated with copper and great wealth.
