King Salmon strips smoke in a cache in the Gwich’in village of Gwichyaa Zhee (Fort Yukon), Alaska. The Gwich’in spend the month of July fishing for King Salmon, with fish wheels or nets, on the Yukon River. For the Gwich’in the only adequate food is food that comes from the land—fish, caribou, moose, and berries, making up 80% of their diet. This photograph was taken on the homelands of the Gwichyaa (Fort Yukon) Gwich’in, the traditional custodians of these areas.
