In Hooper Bay, Alaska, the main "meat" source (or protein) is moose and whale. Sam had the opportunity to experience some of what this means....


Below is Lola and her wee one working on carving up their 1/2 of the moose (in their kitchen) shot up river.

Meet Daniel. Lola's husband. Working on preparing the meat.

And here is another view of what Sam got to experience. He said, after touching it, "It was really cool and gross!"

Below is the other "white" meat. In Hooper Bay they eat two kinds of whale - Gray and White or Beluga. This is a picture of what the meat looks like.
