Inupiaq Food in Shaktoolik

After a trip to Alaska, Jasmin decides to move to Shaktoolik, Alaska to teach. She quickly notices the difference in the food and the culture surrounding it. With only two small stores to provide groceries, she sees why subsistence is a way of life for the Inupiaq people. Not only is it a healthier option but it is tradition.
