In the Alaskan Yugtun culture, animals give themselves to respectful hunters who, in turn, honor their sacrifice by not wasting any part of the animal, and by sharing the harvest and bounty with elders and others. Having grown up in rural villages within the southwestern part of Alaska, I grew up in a variety of Indigenous cultures to include Athabaskan Indian, Aleut, and Yup'ik Eskimo. I am also raising my two children to follow and respect a lot of the same subsistence traditions. In this photo, my daughter Madelyn (age 13) has harvested her first large game (a moose/ "tuntuvaq" in Yugtun), and she is giving thanks to God for the bounty and blessing. The moose was a large bull who gave himself to her. She, then, shared the meat with elders and fed 4 families for the winter. This photo epitomizes harmony between nature/wildlife, and humans in the north.
