The Comcáac People, who are Indigenous to Mexico's Gulf of California, hold leatherback sea Turtles as sacred brothers, believing the leatherback was as a man before becoming a turtle, one who felt pain, heat and hunger. Because of a familial regard for leatherbacks, who are one of the most endangered turtles in the world, tribal members are guardians working to protect female turtles and nests along the beaches of ancestral territories. The goal is to increase the number of hatchlings enabling a continuity of the species. Ryan Awelagte's calming sodalite sea turtle has gentle presence inlaid with turquoise eyes. Measurements of this wonderful reptile are approximately 3" long, 2" wide and 1" tall.
