The Nisga'a have traditionally harvested oolichan from Lisims--the Nass River. The Nisga'a call it saak, or the saviour fish, because it was the first fish that came in quanitity in the new year, just as winter food supplies were running out. In this book, readers can learn alongside two Nisga'a sisters as they are gifted with knowledge from their Elders in the oral tradition.
