This book is about my south central Alaska Alutiiq culture.

Alutiiq Culture

baskets we hand weave baskets. our baskets are made of long beach grass. and we use the baskets to store foods like: berries, meat, and dried fish

hunting visors when we hunt we use hunting visors. we hunt seal and sea otter and when we hunt sea otter we use its fur for clothes and bags. anyway, hunting visors were used for protecting the hunters eye from the sun and the rain. hunting visors are important to my sugpiaq culture.

 that map shows different native nations of Alaska. My tribe\nation is Alutiiq or Sugpiaq. Our indigenous land is in South Central Alaska. 

bidarka or kayak in my tribe we make the original kayaks. in my culture it is called qayaq or bidarka. qayaqs are made out of wood and sea lion skins. we use qayaqs to get around in the ocean and waterways.
