Niklliq - Sockeye Salmon - Hand Embellished Limited Edition
Limited Edition prints are hand embellished by the artist to enhance the texture and depth of these remarkable pieces. Embroidery is added to selected locations where it will best highlight the details within the piece. These prints are limited to only 50 total. As these are made-to-order, please allow 1-2 weeks to ship.
In the traditional lands of the Alutiiq People (Kenai Peninsula, Kodiak Archipelago, and the Alaska Peninsula) these beautiful fish known as “Niklliq” were carefully harvested and deeply respected for their gifts to the People.
Sockeye salmon are a staple of life here in Alaska. These incredible fish are filled with the rugged beauty that is at the heart of so many people who call this land home. For more than 10 years, the threat of an open-pit copper and gold mine (the Pebble Mine) threatened one of the most pristine sockeye salmon spawning areas in Alaska. Beginning with the efforts of a handful of Alaska Native tribes, the petition to the EPA to protect this important watershed was begun. In 2020, a key permit for this mine was denied. As of 2021, the EPA has yet to fully protect the Bristol Bay watershed - you can learn more about this important project and what you can do to help by visiting www.savebristolbay.org
