Miik'ookst are a seasonal berry, highly valved for their tart juicy flavors, appearing for harvest at the same time as the salmon season! Although miik'ookst come in various colours, depicted here is my favorit deep velvety red berry, each drupelet created by the laan (salmonoid egg,) and surrounded by the skeletal remains of the hoon (salmon). The natural laws of life and death complete the circle necessary to our survival.
