Living off the Land in an Alaskan Iñupiaq Community
Season 8 Episode 17 | 3m 10s
Lonnie Arnold and many Inupiat Alaskans still depend on traditional subsistence methods.
About 60 miles North of the Arctic Circle is the small village of Noatak. The majority of the residents there, including Lonnie Arnold, still live a traditional subsistence lifestyle and rely on the wild plants and animals to feed their families. During the summer, almost everyone in the Iñupiaq community is fishing for salmon and picking blueberries, raspberries and cloudberries for the freezer.
