Copper's are named and retained in family/clan for carrying on through generations forever. A Copper is a symbolic and literal shield that is used in Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw First Nations culture to communicate Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw standing and order, responsibilities, and the accumulated wealth associated with a chief and their family.
