In the Yup'ik spiritual framework, the loon is often associated with tranquility, insight, and communication. Shamans, or "angalkuq," would invoke the spirit of the loon during rituals, seeking guidance or healing. The loon's perceived ability to navigate both water and air made it a powerful symbol of traversing different realms, embodying the connection between the physical and spiritual worlds.
