Fishing Qagkumiut Style - Part III

Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

The further upriver I go, the fewer fish camps there are. Upriver residents, or qagkumiuts, get fish that have puss in them, climate change may have affected the fish.

As I fly home I am hoping everyone got the fish they need for winter. This trip exploring fishing qagkumiut style has given me more respect for upriver people because they are cutting fish which my family downriver would never eat. We downriver don't know how good we have it.
