Yukon Kings

Published 2013-10-16
Set in the remote Alaskan Yukon Delta, Yukon Kings follows Yup'ik fisherman Ray Waska as he teaches his grandkids how to fish during the summer salmon run. With environmental and cultural forces threatening their subsistence way of life, Ray holds onto the hope that his grandsons will one day pass on the traditional knowledge to their children.

    Might be for school homework but it’s quite aesthetic
  • @lumiboomi

  • @KavinMaheswaran
    1.How have the Yup'ik peoples traditionally used the land to meet their needs? What is happening to their traditional way of life? 2. What fishing skills does fisherman Ray Waska teach his grandchildren? 3. When your family wants to eat fish for dinner explain how they obtain and cook the fish. these are probably the questions you guys got. Now someone please reply with the answers...

    1. How have the Yup'ik peoples traditionally used the land to meet their needs? What is happening to their traditional way of life? The salmon and other fish are going away and they need food to eat

    I don't know about you guys, but I'm in the extended french program. I have to do this with all the questions in french. I have to write all the answers in french. We are not allowed to use translation software. I am not good at french.
