Whaling in Gambell


"Whaling, the most dramatic harvest of the year, calls upon the community to use traditional models of shared work and distribution, and each participant must contend with the tensions that surround caring for family and caring for community."

author of "Food, Faith and Family in a Yupik Waling Community".
