A Joyful Noise 3D Art
The Yup’ik natives had festivals with two or more villages who gathered to celebrate with Ellarpiim Yua (Person of the Universe) thanking Him for all the gifts of harvest and gathering. It was a time of joyful gathering of families and relatives.
Neighboring villages would prepare gifts of useful utensils, hunting gear, fish traps, Qayaqs, and dried fish, meat, seal oil and more.
It was believed that the fish and animals gave themselves as gifts from the Creator.
After the celebration, the animals returned to Ellarpiim Yua and told Him that they were treated well by the humans. They asked permission to return to celebrate. Ellarpiim Yua then being pleased of the love and respect humans showed to one another, the fish and wildlife were able to celebrate life with humans again.
