Return of the Tyee
Since time immemorial, the salmon has been an essential food source for the Northwest Coast people. A few weeks of intense work harvesting fish during the salmon run usually produced enough stores to meet their needs for the upcoming year enabling them to enjoy their leisure time.
There are many different species of salmon, each with its unique characteristics but all species begin theirlives in freshwater streams, lakes or rivers, migrate to the ocean where they mature and return to their birthplace to spawn and die.
It is this predictability and rhythm that made the salmon highly symbolic as the "giver of life," of prosperity, steadfastness and dependability. The salmon was often depicted in pairs as a sign of good luck.
The largest species of Pacific salmon is the Chinook or Black Salmon, First Nations people called it the Tyee (meaning King). It generally weighs between 30 and 40 lbs and can measure 40 to 60 inches atmaturity.
RETURN OF THE TYEE - 2010 CANADIAN COINS is categorised COINS AND PAPER MONEY / 08- ROYAL CANADIAN MINT / 10- FLORA, FAUNA & NATURE and sold by l'Imaginaire, a store and specialised website.
