The spirit of the sockeye salmon is strong. These fish show power and determination, fighting against impossible odds to get to where they need to be. Facing all the obstacles that mankind has put in their path, they still seek to return to their spawning pools to perpetuate the next generation. They are in a transformative state when they spawn, changing from silver-green to brilliant red. Once their lives are expended, their bodies decay, going back into the waters where they were born.
