“All Alaskan Natives, no matter where you were raised, depended on the game and fish in their area. In the 20’s, when I was born, on the Kuskokwim River, survival was what we could get through subsistence,” wrote Sis Laraux in the opening letter of her book. “We depended on the area wild game, birds and fish, besides reindeer and berries. There was so much drying, smoking, canning, salting and preserving to keep us going.”
