With a subsistence economy largely dependent on the marine environment and its animal resources, the island and coastal regions of southwest Alaska provide access to a broad range of fish used in the past for clothing production. The traditional Alutiiq wardrobe includes garments made from animal skins, including fish. These garments were expertly sewn by women from Kodiak Island. Traditionally, Alutiiq education consisted of acquiring survival skills: how to navigate the seas in all weathers; hunting and fishing skills; tanning animal skins; and how to repair your fish skin parka while out in the Arctic wilderness. Today, many Alutiiq people continue to provide for their families by subsistence
hunting, fishing and plant gathering. They continue to live in the same territories, using the same resources as they did centuries ago, living in harmony with each other, honoring the ocean and all
of its bounties. Through their traditional Indigenous practices and respect for nature and the animal
kingdom, they live in harmony with nature and with each other to navigate the hardest of times by
listening to their collective wisdom.
