Sisters of the Underworld is a Haida myth that refers back to long ago when the earth was flooded. Dogfish, being a voracious eater, gave birth and when food was scarce, she would eat her young. However, this mother let her young live in her mouth, allowing them to feed from her. The sisters were survivors of that time and now dwell in the underworld as spirits, still celebrating the first mother.⁠

"The bottom lip is black and represents darkness. The upper lip is bright red representing the light within us. Raven brought back to the world light from the dark. He shared with us his stories, knowledge and teachings. Having this dark side and also seeing the light side of us brings the balance back to life." - Reuben Mack
