Herring People — Humpback Whale

Iinang Xaadee—Herring People play a vital role in the ecosystem. They nurture, feed, give of themselves to keep beings alive in all realms—undersea, earth, and sky. When balance prevails, Herring People gather to dance in their great longhouse in such great numbers and with such vigour that the atmosphere overhead reverberates with their excitement. Now, Human Beings see Herring solely as a resource, blinded, not seeing their true value, only seeing monetary gain at the expense of the whole.

‘Let me see you, so that I can tell your story.’ These words fly with an arcing toss into the ether as I traverse the natural world with thoughts turned to encountering the Supernatural. Last seen as a spray of mist in the distance, Kun—Humpback Whale lunges from the depths below, its mouth wide surrounding a Herring Ball in frenetic dance, then gently closing its jaws, with baleen streaming saltwater as its slips down beneath the surface as silently as it came. Giid tll’juus—The world is as sharp as the edge of a knife.
