Alaska natives have aboriginal rights granted by the US government and the UN with strict quotas and oversights. In many remote villages the traditional way of life continues, living off the land and making the fullest use of every harvest, and giving thanks to the earth for those gifts. Whale blubber heats their dwellings and the calories sustain their bodies on cold winter nights. They use seal skin boats to hunt whales, to make cloths, and build dwellings, etc. With the scraps they make art pieces to help procure other necessities. Rest assured when you buy Alaska handcrafted items from Alaska Wild Country you will be supporting their traditional way of life and the continuance of the culture. These normally restricted items include artist bios so you know that the item is authentic and legal to own.
