These Herring threaders symbolize our deep connection with nature and highlight the critical role these feeder fish play in the marine ecosystem.

Herring are vital in the ocean's circle of life, crucial for maintaining a healthy and balanced ecosystem. These fish are a primary food source for many larger marine creatures, birds, and mammals.

Each spring, a remarkable event unfolds: herring spawn in vast numbers, igniting a wave of marine life. This phenomenon acts as a natural signal, calling forth a diverse array of animals to feast, including, since ancient times, the Lingít and other indigenous peoples. This event leads to a dynamic feeding frenzy that supports the growth and well-being of various marine species. This annual cycle not only ensures the robustness of the herring population but also injects fresh vitality into the entire marine ecosystem, underlining the interconnectedness of all ocean life.
