I was born and raised in Alaska. I am Yupik and Inupiaq. I wasn’t raised with material wealth but wealth from knowledge from my grandparents. I lived a rich life living off the land, air, and sea with what Mother Nature provided and the knowledge from my grandmother on how to take care of animals, fish, and plants. We were taught when to subsist different fish, plants and animals depending on the season, this knowledge passed down from generation to generation. My grandparents always taught us to never forget where you come from, my roots are planted deep. I love my culture and have tremendous respect for other cultures and traditions.
