Young people from around the state learned how to filet and prepare salmon at the conference in Anchorage on Tuesday.
Tutuutux ux and Madilyn Nageak, students from Mount Edgecumbe High in Sitka, pack coho salmon into jars for pickling at the Elders and Youth Conference in Anchorage Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023.
“There’s some kids who you can see have done it lots of times,” Wolfe said. “And there’s some kids where you can see this is the very first time and the excitement that they get in just seeing how they react to touching a fish.” This is the 40th year of the annual conference organized by First Alaskans Institute, which brings youth and elders from around the state in the lead up to the Alaska Federation of Natives convention. It was an opportunity for sharing skills and knowledge.
“Every region, even in our region, has different ways of cutting salmon,” Wolfe said. “So part of our message, we say, ‘This isn’t the only way. This is just how we do it.’” Hayden Grace Marie Blair, 15, said in Seward she fished with her aunties and her grandmother every summer. But she hadn’t cleaned fish in a while so it was a good refresher.
