Salishan Passport

Description

Passport for the Salish-Shidhe Council (SSC), a fictional country from the Shadowrun universe.

The symbol in the top stands for the Native American Nations (NAN), pretty much an EU analogue to for the Amerind countries, and taken from the Native American Movement flag. The colour of the passport is supposed to mimic that of the adobe used in the construction of Puebloan dwellings, while the red/maroon/ochre colour is taken from the NAM symbol on the flag. The central symbol is a traditional Squamish representation of a grizzly bear and was taken from this site: shop.slcc.ca/learn/grizzly-bea…

If you happen to know Halkomelem and could help me correct any errors, I'd be very grateful. :) The language resources I have at my disposal are quite limited, so I had to make up a lot of the words I couldn't find by combining others, so I'm expecting this to have a lot of errors.

I like that you did some research for the design of this fantasy passport. I mean, it doesn't have any real-life base like most of the European ones. Without the infos I would have also thought it could be Atztlan related.
Um, do you happen to have some Trans-Polar Aleut Nation / Thule Protectorate / former Iceland or Tir na nOg passports in store somewhere?
(Tir na nOg (never sure how it's spelled correctly) would be probably a new fantasy one, or related to old Irish tales and today's Iceland's passport cover can be seen here upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia… )
And thumbs up for the CC license - that makes me feel more comfy / secure if I want to use on of them in my pen and paper session. :)
