The flowing water carries the eye to a "tourbillion," a \\ hirlwind that symbolizes the energy and power of the estuary and the sun. The wheeling dolphin appears under- neath, leaping over the water under the watchful eye of a Calusa alligator. The third panel features a fishnet, sym- bol of the aquaculture that was the mainstay of Calusa civilisation, hanging from a carved paddle, holding four mullet over four seagrass stalks. The last panel, according to Century, is "the spirit of the Calusa departing," as the sound of the conch shell calls them home. Four dragonfly wings and Zebra Longwing butterflies represent depar- ture, while a snake shedding its skin is a symbol of rebirth. "We're trying to build awareness in our area of the Calusa culture," Century said. "We're the caretakers of this land now." As a special gift, a smaller version of this mural will be installed at the Sanibel Public Library.
