We started off our summer with a camping trip on June 1st. We went through a beaver 🦫 forest to find a beautiful beaver!
I spent spring picking Masu, an edible root also known an an Indian potato, fiddleheads, beach greens we call tiqayuks, sura or willow blooms, spruce tips, and a fish called hooligan. We are so blessed to be able to gather goodness from the land and the tradition of gathering enough to last through winter.
I have started a TikTok to share “driving in Alaska” and subsistence activities. God is good!
Catching hooligan also known as oolichan or candlefish.
