Description From Owner:

Kleena Kleene - From the Kwakwala Indian word for eulachon grease, the prized staple of the Indian diet. The grease was rendered from the eulachon, small oil-laden fish caught in large numbers when they ascended coastal rivers in the early spring.
Coastal Indians found a ready market with the Interior bands for their excess eulachon grease, which was transported inland along the 'grease trails' from the heads of various coastal inlets.
There is no linguistic justification for the meaning 'river with many turns,' which is so commonly advanced by people living in the area.
