Smoke Dance

Subsistence is a huge component of what it means to be an Alaska Native. Every year at our Nuuciq Spirit Camp, our Elders pass along subsistence knowledge and skills to our youth, keeping the Chugach culture alive. In this short video, Diane Selanoff teaches camp attendees one of our tastiest traditions, the art of smoking salmon, and she teaches her students how to bust a move. Watch the fun, and learn the secret, basic recipe for jarring the world’s most flavorful, smoked fish.
