Awaiting the Song of the Golden Crown Sparrow

Today, May first, we await the song of  The Golden Crown Sparrow, giving signal to the arrival of the King Salmon,

to the Kenai River.  May first, is also the day we set the Kenaitze Educational Fisheries, net.

We gather on the beach, where my family and ancestors have always gathered to give thanks for this gift of  harvest. 

We gather to honor and celebrate this magnificent and nutritional, life giving resource! The Salmon.
