Why is this grammatically correct?

"Killer whales are an important object of mythology for many indigenous people."


"Killer whales" means that the objects are more than one. Doesn' t that mean the phrase "an important object" should be "important objects" instead?

Rikudo "Killer whales" means that the objects are more than one. No, it is referring to a type or kind of animal, not the individual specimens. All killer whales look the same, act the same, and they, as a species, enchant the indigenous peoples.
