The rabbit in this society represents the joker or the trickster. Remember Bugs Bunny? All cultures have their own image of a trickster in their mythology.

Found some interesting sites re: the Rabbit and Mythology. Maybe one of them will give you a better idea on the connection.
Of course as someone said earlier Rabbit is considered one of the Trickster God's in Native American beliefs.

The rabbit is often the trickster in mythology, much like the fox in other stories.

I am taught that the rabbit represents trickery (in a lite way as fox does so slyly), and fertility. When I encounter the rabbit in my own day to day, I think of the fertility aspect first.
