Sturgeon Quarter Zip

80/20 ring-spun cotton/polyester quarter zip. Model is wearing a Large; typically wears a Large.

"I have a strong love for sturgeons, the ancestors of the rivers. They are gentle and strong beings, and I am inspired by their elegant form and grace. They are the largest freshwater fish in north america, and some of the oldest as they can live to over 100 years. They can become quite large, reaching over 20 feet in length. White sturgeons are endangered, as they are facing habitat destruction, overfishing, pollution, and I believe sport fishing causes a servere amount of stress and trauma for these giants of our river. I was inspired to start drawing sturgeon when one of my relatives at Kwantlen showed me some sturgeon scoutes (the spines that grow on their backs) from a deseased 75 year old sturgeon that had washed up up river from fort Langley. The sturgeon was a female, who still had all her eggs. Which means that she didn't feel her environment was safe enough to lay her eggs that year. I was heartbroken, but struck by their beauty. My relative Fern Gabriel who has dedicated herself to learning Henqeminum, sent me a voice message one day saying "qʷtá•yθə́n" telling me that that is our name for sturgeon. This reminder is why I chose to put qʷtá•yθə́n on the sleeve of this garment, as a reminder of our names for our relatives, and our responsibilities to take care of our relatives, and learn about the geographies, ecosystems, and watersheds that we all belong to."
