There are many who - throughout the United States and elsewhere - have practiced subsistence - either principally or combined with small scale agriculture. I can think of many groups of people - including Maine lobster men (who value seal meat highly) as well as midwest rural people who combined famil farms with deer, elk and bird hunting. In this case, though, CabinDweller is right - I was in Interior Alaksa, was speaking specifically to Interior residents and specifically about moose. And in this state, subsistence is largley seen as a F&G issue that predominantly, but by no means exclusively, concerns Alaska Natives.FlictheBichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358697353558207227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746624.post-34684221735266109942008-10-11T11:07:00.000-08:002008-10-11T11:07:00.000-08:00Ceol, there are two of us who write here at FBHB. ...Ceol, there are two of us who write here at FBHB. Neither of us is Alaskan Native. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes we get a little sloppy with language and make reference to Alaskan Natives as a group ... but there are so many different cultures, and different practices and attitudes. And there are differences between the various cultures (Inupiaq, Yupik, etc.) at the regional and village level.<BR/><BR/>I believe Flic was in either the Koyukon or Gwichin part of the state.CabinDwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15064395622100420809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746624.post-36946681113112866102008-10-11T10:59:00.000-08:002008-10-11T10:59:00.000-08:00Needlenoz?

I won't mind. Are you native? I only ask because I haven't thought so from reading your blog for a long time, but this post makes me think maybe yes. Secondly, you say Natives take all, including the head. Is this only true of moose? When I was in a northern village this summer, and caribou hunting was going on, they left ALL the heads and racks of the bou right there - head up towards the sky as, I gathered, a spiritual tradition. I was surprised no one took the racks, but then realized, when you can hunt as many as you and your families, elders, extended, otherwise, might need for food, every year, year after year, what use would you have for all the racks. But I'm curious as to your take on this, if you are native.Dogs and Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078696626744108731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746624.post-64492125771539391952008-10-06T18:06:00.000-08:002008-10-06T18:06:00.000-08:00Subsistance hunting?

My dad was a hunter - and every year we'd look forward to venison, pheasant, and quail. My cousin still sends me venison - mostly for my dogs who need the lean high protein (due to cancer), but they share. . . Good luck getting your larder filled! That's true hard work!Greytdog Δhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956055775852322626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746624.post-62260740867755046452008-09-24T23:01:00.000-08:002008-09-24T23:01:00.000-08:00Powerful picture Fic.
