sisiutl
The Sisiutl (Si’sEyuL) is one of the most powerful crests, and mythological creatures in the mythology of the Kwakwaka’wakw, Nuu-chah-nulth, Squamish, Nuxalkmc and various other Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, and figures prominently in their art, dances and songs. Sisiutl is the god of warrior invincibility, a magic war-canoe that can go underground (Winalagalis), and guardian of the house of the sky people.
==Form==
Sisiutl are frequently depicted as a two headed sea serpent or snake with a humanoid head (and hands) in the middle of the body. All three heads are surmounted by "horns of power" (also seen on thunderbirds).
NWC whalers told of a powerful whaling charm, a black two headed “worm.”
According to Boas the word for ''sisiutl'' in Tsimshian is "''Laqaqua'sa''" ("both sides head" ) (Boas, "Vocabularies of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian" 1891). The soulcatcher (''Haboolm Ksinaalgat'') of the northern Tsimshian, Tlingit, and Haida peoples exhibits the same body form, and may derive its form from the sisiutl.
