For my project I researched traditional Native
food preparation. I worked with Emily Williams, a
local Tlingit elder who is a member of the Eagle Wolf
clan. On the following pages you will find information
about salmon, wildberries,
deer, and seal.

TRADITIONAL
NATIVE FOOD PREPARATION
Natives of Alaska do one thing in particular, that
not many other cultures do even now, and that is subsist
off the land. Now days, some tribes have westernized
a bit, and don't really subsist in the same manner
as their ancestors. Still, they are continuing tradition
by utilizing many of the resources Southeast Alaska
has to offer and preparing dishes that their families
have prepared for decades. Here are links to these
pages:
Salmon Wildberries
Deer Seal
