Self Preservation The Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of Alaska is home to the Yup’ik people, who practice a largely subsistence lifestyle characterized by seasonal hunting, fishing, and gathering. Getting ready for winter means preparing traditional foods including akutaq, sometimes known as ”eskimo ice cream,” a traditional subsistence food made from cockles and berries– and a few newer ingredients. Here we see self preservation as a form of the adaptation of traditional knowledge.
