Not too far offshore at slack tide, out by the far buoy, a ‘mug up’ of sorts takes place along the commercial fishing nets of the drift fleet…a time of nourishment and rest for another lover of salmon, who is equally cunning, playful, and determined as anyone who claims the title fisherman.

The term ‘mug up’ is still used by Fishermen and Salmon Cannery workers in Bristol Bay, Alaska.  Is an endearing term used to describe a coffee break, and a time to take the load off, and catch up a little with your pals.

Thunderbird was the smallest of all birds with a big appetite.  And as he ate Thunderbird began to grow and grow.  Mosquito and Squirrel no longer held its attention…soon he was after Caribou and Moose.

On a windy day, a hunter at sea looked out over the horizon.  Is that Eagle with a fish, far off in the distance he thought to himself…but soon lost interest.  Suddenly a gust of wind assailed his Qayaq.  CLAP…CLAP…CLAP, a frightening and mighty sound was heard all around.

To the hunter’s amazement, he realized it was not Eagle returning home with Fish, but a mighty bird carrying Whale.

Rushing home the hunter told young and old of the mighty bird whose wings clapped like thunder.

Story masks are a part of the rich heritage of our ancestors, the Yup’ik peoples.  Used in ceremonies and festivals to tell the stories of old through song and dance.  Depicted in this illustration, tundra cotton flows from the mouth providing the visual depiction of breath.

Legend says there were beings who could change into any animal they wished.  Imagine all the stories they would tell of swimming with Salmon, or running along the open tundra as Caribou.  This mask celebrates the encounters such beings would have had in days of old.
