The Haa Aaní Alliance

Zeal Optics, in partnership with Weston, Smartwool, Pret, and MountainFLOW Eco-Wax, recently launched the Haa Aaní Alliance - with proceeds benefiting three non-profit organizations: Yukon Salmon, Wild Salmon Center and the North Atlantic Salmon Fund.

For the Tlingit of Southeast Alaska, culture revolves around the land and its resources. The Tlingit believe that when they take care of the land and its inhabitants, the land in turn takes care of them. This concept is often summarized with the Tlingit phrase Haa Aaní, which means “Our Land”. The Haa Aaní Alliance features art from Tlingit artist Crystal Worl.

Crystal Worl grew up in Alaska with her grandmother. Days were spent harvesting traditional foods. Crystal and her people’s endurance comes from the land on which they hunt, fish and live a subsistent life. As an artist, she and her brother started Trickster Company where her beautiful, traditional Tlingit form line art is showcased.

This collection is a visual storytelling of The Salmon Way of Life (Xâat Kusteeyí). Our environment is circular and our watersheds begin in the mountains. As skiers and boarders, we share a responsibility to ensure that everything downstream from us thrives as we enjoy our ability to enjoy snow.
