Cultural Benefits

While Alaska Natives are well aware of the cultural benefits of subsistence foods and the activities associated with these foods, policy makers may benefit from information related to cultural benefits. We decided that information describing the pattern of subsistence activities of village residents is the most readily available information. We have worked with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Division of Subsistence to extract text on subsistence activities from Division technical reports. For further information on obtaining Division technical reports, contact Bob Wolfe at (907) 465 4148 or by email at robertw@fishgame.state.ak.us
