When I was still a child I remember I was counselled by my grandmothers and grandfathers around me. About all the activities that were forbidden. I want you to hear this and believe it.

It was forbidden to play with sea foods. All the animals and fish that live in the water. If your dad or brother, don’t make fun of the fish if you see it thrashing around on the boat. This is forbidden. It is also forbidden to make fun of all birds on the water.

While I was growing up, I believed the elders when they old us not to play with fish/animals that live in the water. While they were working on oolichans, you know how many men were on a boat. Maybe half a dozen. There were lots of seagulls above them when the oolichans came. One young man was tired of the seagulls and shot them. One seagull did not die. It just broke one wing, he took it and put a stick in it's back and laughed out loud when he saw the seagull trying to swim with the stick in it's back.

They hollered at him to stop it, and told him that it was forbidden. But he kept on laughing. He thought he was very funny and he was the only one laughing. After about four months went by, he just disappeared from the boat. To this day, he hasn’t been found. That’s why the elders told us not to make fun of sea animals.
