Four Stories: BlackFish!

"The Tlingit Nation sometimes refers to the killer whale as BlackFish. They feature prominently in the cultures of the Northwest Coast, and as a result, there are many great stories attributed to them.

It was once thought that when a BlackFish overturned canoes they would take the occupants to their undersea village and transform them into killer whales. And so, when pods of BlackFish swam past villages, it was said to be those who were lost at sea coming to say hello. The face you see within 'BlackFish!' is a reminder of those who were lost."
