Notes about the RRN, held in the archives read Terry suggested design elements based on traditional navigation and creation themes: messengers would travel by canoe to bring news to communities and invite them to gatherings; salmon, a symbol of renewal, navigate through streams and oceans, guided by the stars. These ideas allude to the RRN's goal of facilitating community renewal and knowledge by navigating the Internet and museum collection management systems.
