Grocery store meats will be 2-3 times L48 prices and this family has the capacity to consume equivalent of a caribou per week. Most groceries and goods are flown in from Fairbanks where prices are already high. I haven't been to Noorvik but if the local store is anything like most bush villages, it's very basic.no supermarket here! I wish more kids could get exposed to a bit of that life style. Of the daughters and that usually says something about the parents. I've talked with Chip and he seems to be straight up! I also have spoken with a teacher from that area that thought very well Oh I get it, but it doesn't say whether you can only subsistence hunt if you can't afford it, it just says that you can and probably most do. They are showing hunters in a HORRIBLE light. For fuggs sake, it is a drama show on *Nat Geo*. I have already suggested that they are subsistence hunting because they **CAN**, not because they have to, to stay alive.Īnyone here who thinks the Hailstones NEED to sluice ducks to stay alive are delusional. I understand the legal and historical aspects, and the deviations from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.īut folks here make it seem as though that family is hunting hand-to-mouth to stay alive. You have to learn to look at the world from other perspectives, not just your own.īTW, I don't agree with it all, but it is what it is. People are defending Chip because they don't have their head up their butt, but actually worked at their history class, specifically treaties and the rights thereunder extended to natives.It doesn't matter whether you think it is illegal/legal, sporting/unsporting, it just is under the law as derived from treaties and in Alaska's case, likely some other subsistence laws/regulations.
