Alaska at a subsistence fishing crossroads
Since time immemorial, the Kuskokwim River in Southwest Alaska has fed Native families. Now, after years of failed salmon runs, Native families are confronting the potential loss of this vital resource.
At the same time they are caught in the middle of a legal battle between the federal government and the state over how best to manage fishing in rivers that flow through both jurisdictions. The Alaska Federation of Natives just joined several tribal groups, taking the federal government’s side in the fight.
Join Native America Calling to look at what’s at stake for Alaska Native residents in this latest chapter in the evolving fight over subsistence fishing.
