Migration Framed Print
Every year we see all creatures return, and it was believed that the fish and animals presented themselves to worthy hunters and gatherers. They watched how the humans treated their bodies during the preservation process. Animal parts were used on masks during festivals. Bladders of birds or animals would be dried and blown up like balloons. Small representations of animals were hung on strings from the four corners of the communal Qas’giq. Which they shook in rhythm to the drums.
After the celebration, the animals returned to Ellarpiim Yua, and told Him that they were treated well by the humans. They asked permission to return through hunting, fishing and gathering to celebrate at another festival. Ellarpiim Yua then being pleased of the love and respect humans showed for one another, gave the fish and wildlife permission to celebrate life with humans at the next festival.
