A bell tolled for each of the 97 people who have died fishing in Bristol Bay at Dillingham's 34th annual Blessing of the Fleet.
The Curyung Wolverine Dancers perform a blessing at Dillingham’s 34th Blessing of the Fleet on June 17, 2023.
Aileen Walsh with the Holy Rosary Catholic Church dedicated the first prayer to the protection and abundance of the Bristol Bay salmon runs. “This memorial is testimony to all those who lost their lives,” Walsh said. “Because although the bay is productive, it is nonetheless dangerous. For those who are gone, today we come to pray and remember.”
“It’s about the traditional use of Ayaq, which is tundra tea to bless hunters and gatherers as they go out on the land,” Olsen said. “And, we’ve been using it a lot, to do openings and blessings for things for various community things. And we just love to dance it, it’s a good song.”The event at the Dillingham harbor took a pause during the COVID pandemic. Diane Folsom, with the Holy Rosary Catholic Church, says the community tradition was especially important after a three year hiatus.
