Fishing is one of those activities that brings cultures together across seas and oceans. Beyond being a source of supply, a social, ritual, and prestigious affair, it is, for many animist peoples, a connection to Nature, a dialogue with the living. This collection of more than twenty hooks, ranging from the Pacific to the Bering Sea, allowed us to grasp the rich variety of shapes and materials used in their creation. Each piece is a testimony to a tradition and a unique perspective on the world.
