∙ 15y agoRabbit is a symbol of fear. It is commonly believed that one "calls" their fears to themselves, by speaking them aloud. Rabbit's lesson to mankind is to not allow your fear to hamper you in your everyday life. Some fear is a good thing or we would walk into danger too frequently and be hurt or killed, but we should not allow fear to keep us from getting on with our lives.
Please realise that not all Native American tribes have the same beliefs and interpretation of symbols, I have given you what I was taught.
