A new Traditional foods, Contemporary Chef recipe and webisode are up! This one was filmed at elder Howard Luke’s fish camp in late September off the Tanana River. I really enjoyed this once in a lifetime experience at his camp and hope you enjoy watching.
If you want to know more about Howard Luke and what he has to teach, I recommend Howard’s book, “Howard Luke: My Own Trail” edited by Jan Steinbright Jackson.
