I love them a lot

"Alaska Airlines first took flight in 1932 by connecting small towns across Alaska including a route between Anchorage and Bristol Bay, home of the world’s largest sockeye salmon run. Salmon has a special meaning and significance in the State of Alaska and the Northwest Coast. For Alaska Natives and Native American cultures of this region, the salmon is part of a spiritual and cultural identity. Designed by Alaska Native artist, Crystal Worl, whose work explores the relationships and bonds connecting her people, the land and the native animals of Alaska—this is the first livery in a domestic airline fleet to have the name of the plane in an Alaska Native language. The aircraft is called X̱áat Ḵwáani, which means “Salmon People” in the Alaskan Tlingit language and refers to the spiritual link between the people who interact with the beloved salmon and the role they play in our environment."
