Hundreds of years ago, native Athabaskan indians lived off the
land. They fished for food for themselves and for their dogs-
dogs who provided their transportation and companionship.
Today, it might be hard to believe that people
still live off the land. But for the most part, some still do.
They may have a radio, a CB and maybe a snomobile, but they fish
and hunt for the majority of their food and raise families at
home.
We take a boat journey down the Chitna river
and visit towns ranging from the bustling 600 person metropolis
that is Ruby, to Roy Folger's place, where we get "serenaded"
by guitar, mandolin and two truly unique voices.
Buy the tape, meet the people, look for mammoth
tusks, hear the bear stories and take a unique trip into the
heart of Alaska. |
