Subsistence
"Well, our belief system - the way our creator spoke to us was through his own creation - through the animals and the fish. We not only hunt and we eat. That's the way he spoke to us was through nature. So when we participate in subsistence it's like reaffirming who we are."
~ Harold Napoleon, Hooper Bay, AK
