By itself. the word subsistence seems fraught with political overtones. A single man hunting or fishing. or a lone woman harvesting clams or berries, may not be subsistence. But a sustained pattern… of use by a community or a culture is subsistence. A subsistence lifestyle requires cooperation. ingenuity. resilience. and a strong spirit. As you will read in this wonderful collection. entire families - young and old alike - work together in every aspect of subsistence, whether it be cutting and drying salmon. cutting and sharing sea lion, harvesting clams or seagull eggs, or picking berries in the fall. Even today. in a spirit of community. successful hunters and fishermen provide not only for their own families, but also for those who lack the means by themselves, such as elders or the infirm. The stories in this volume, as told by the people of Chenega, affirm the continuing value of living a subsistence lifestyle. This is an anthology of 30 stories illustrated with 31 photographs.
