SEASONS OF SUBSISTENCE: New Story is Up!

The Nushagak River in Bristol Bay, Alaska, takes no prisoners! Cold, fast flowing and determined springtime on the river is certainly thrilling. I spent the weekend navigating the dendritic tentacles of this enormous meandering river with three generations of Yup'ik Eskimos. Mr. Wonhola, one of New Stuyahok Village's eminent hunters, his Grandson Master Trenton Wonhola (6 years of age) and their family friend and emerging hunter, Wassillie (18 years of age). We saw beluga's feeding on salmon smolt, went hunting for geese, ducks, even crane and set subsistence fishing nets for whitefish and pike. A truly remarkable trip!
