Puskawo are associated with good luck because they arrive in the spring and bring new life. Fishermen consider it a good sign to see a crane while fishing because it means fish in the area. Puskawo plays the role of peacemaker. The Puskawo Crane Dance is traditionally done in the spring.

The Aunty Collective Indigenous Creative Practice Hub recognizes the sovereignty of the Lekwungen Peoples, land, waters, ancestors, and non-human relations and understands that only through meaningful, respectful, reciprocal relationships, is our work made possible. As diverse Indigenous peoples who carry our unique Indigenous laws with us while away from our own lands and waters, we make visible and honour Lekwungen laws, protocols, and authority as we create, share, and develop relationships within the Lekwungen and neighboring Coast Salish territories and peoples.
