Detailed Description
It is mid-May, exciting news of the first catch of a king salmon is spread throughout the village. This is the sign when preparation to work on them should begin. The king salmon is the first to arrive, followed by the chum and sockeye. By mid-June and early-July, many families are catching, cutting, drying, salting, and smoking salmon. Every fourth even year, the pink salmon will arrive in large numbers. But, it is not a popular fish to work on. It is small and has less meat (any incidental catches are used). The silver salmon is the last to arrive. It is the "fall" fish. It comes around the end of July and peaks during the latter part of August. By the end of September, the salmon are gone. The salmon does not arrive to become a food source exclusively, it arrives to replenish itself The salmon has a keen sense of smell and is able to navigate itself back to the same stream that it was developed. The female will lay its eggs among the pebbles in the stream. The male will spawn it's white milky substance on the egg. This will allow the eggs to become fertile and the process of it becoming a salmon begins. In its young life, the salmon will swim back to the ocean to allow itself to become an adult, in approximately four years.
1. Read to the students in Yup'ik Salmon for Simon or similar book. Discuss the story.
2. Show film strip Salmon for Simon. Narrate in Yup'ik. Discuss the film strip.
3. Use pictures and flash cards to teach the name of the salmon species in Yup'ik. Invent a story for each fish.
4. Use a flannel board and cut out symbols to teach the life cycle of a fish. This can be done in a story in Yup'ik.
5. Have students illustrate each salmon species an label in Yup'ik. Do the same for the life cycle of the fish.
