I live in northern Alaska. We still eat a ton of this stuff lol. My wife's whole family is native. You better believe Eskimo ice cream is a thing, muktuk, seal oil, beaver tail, I eat caribou all the time, moose all the time, fish like white fish or salmon, fish head soup is still very common, (hunting rules) the jerky is still a thing, lots more. Most of it comes from the different natives that come to Anchorage or Fairbanks. Teach it to everyone else and then it spreads.
Oh bannock and fry bread are still extremely popular and yes they eat it with seal oil, not me lol.

Really Excellent work that is what I think. I have been reading studying about Inuit food my whole life. From a book called Klabloona eating was a big part of the Inuit life when possible. Dried lake fish, salmon intestines, raw birds, seagull eggs raw frozen fish special as a body warming food stuff. .Other noted is rotted meat aka ti pi. Anthony Bourdain did a show in Cnanda Inuit eating whole raw seal another big one.

the moose recipe is identical to headcheese as it is known in america, brawn in the UK or fromage de tete in France made from a pig's head. similar to guanciale the moose's jowls are a delicacy, but the head cheese is not for the faint of heart unless you like picking eyes, hair, brains and teeth out of a pot so you can access the remaining meat.

I love how bannock is so prevalent across native tribes in North America and yet I didnt even know it was from Scottish influence! My great great grandpa was Scottish and immigrated to Canada where now most of my aunt, cousins and uncles on my dad side convey the Scottish last name! Louttit: p Ty for your history lesson asapscience

dried Ptarmigan, dried seal meat, dried pike, dried white fish, dried herring, dried tomcods. frozen white fish all go well dipped in seal oil with a bit of soy sauce. but my favorite is stink heads. next best thing (while salmon are just arriving) making soup with the chinook fish heads and tail fins. just slurp all the soft parts

This my land, my property is total BS! You came on this earth nude and you going to leave it with your sins! That's all folks.

Foods eaten by Korea/Asia after the Korean war. I know that Korea was left one of the poorest countries at the time following the we and what they ate to survive sounds interesting

I have lived in AK for 42 years. I have had almost all of the foods in this vid. What I know from experience, if you are hungry enough, you will enjoy most all of them.

At what point do we stop killing whales, dolphins and other marine mammals? I am no vegetarian by any means, but there has to be a line.

Bannock wrapped around a stick and cooked over an open fire is also known as dampers. One of highlights of a youth club summer camp.

i'm not saying we need a proof that Charles Manson wasn't a time traveler. But i sure would sleep better, if we had one.
