Unisex T-Shirt featuring “Hishuk’ish Tsawak” design by Joshua watts
The Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tee, is a perfect blend of comfort and style. Crafted from 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, this lightweight tee is breathable and ideal for both active and leisure wear.
The core value that is shared by all Nuu-Chah-Nulth people is that everything is one. To represent the belief of Hishuk-ish-tsawak, this piece has a central figure of one of the moon sisters. Nuu-Chah-Nulth people recognize the many different moons that appear throughout the annual cycle of seasons.
Inside the hands of the moon, she is holding a salmon egg. This communicates the important relationship between the moon, the tides, and the life cycle of salmon. Through their connection, the salmon move through their journey of life. The Nuu-Chah-Nulth people have been taught this for many generations, and with respect we have created a sacred fisheries structure within our Ha-Houlthee, and within our governance. One relationship not of resource exploitation, but accountability, and respect for the salmon.
Encircling the sister moon and the salmon egg is a pair of salmon, one female and one male. They are encircling and watching the life of this salmon egg to assure that their life is being respected, and that the agreement is still being honored to this day.
Nuu-Chah-Nulth history shares that many moons ago the salmon stopped running. This was due to overfishing, and disrespect to their way of life. Before they would come back to our watersheds an agreement needed to be made. Our people agreed to return the bones of the salmon to the water after we eat them, and so the salmon ceremony began.
