The subject of this carving is the Salmon-Boy, who was taken away by the salmon people because he made disparaging remarks about one of their dead, calling it moldy. He didn't know he was among salmon; they seemed like humans to him. When the salmon tribe dispersed to go to their various spawning streams the boy, now a salmon, was caught by his grieving parents. They found him inside the salmon and, when he came to life, he taught his people how to treat salmon so they would continue to give themselves to men. (Holm, Spirit and Ancestor, 1987)
