“In Haida culture, Mouse Woman is a matriarch of the supernatural and human beings. She may be small but as Mouse Woman herself may say, “What does size have to do with anything”. Mouse Woman is both wise and wonderful, if you disrespect the natural world or cause a wrong against a supernatural being, you may just find her paying you a visit. She won’t fix the problem for you, but she will help guide you down the path to rectify your wrong.”
