september 22 2019 culture camp part 1 william and tg at the alaska native heritage center this is going to be a few posts because i took a lot of photos last month my children and i had a chance to go to a culture camp if you re not indigenous culture camps are a way to learn about our heritage from elders and people who live a traditional life this one was a mixed culture camp centering on traditional foods for the various indigenous people from alaska we were really excited about it it took place at the alaska native heritage center this is definitely a place you should visit if you re ever in anchorage they have a village area set up in the back of the museum with the various building structures used by the tribes up here the grounds grow a lot of plants that are used traditionally for food and medicines it s educational and interesting and they focus on creating opportunities for native peoples there are young interns who do presentations and there is dancing and indigenous artists selling beautiful things my family is tanana athabaskan we come from the interior even though my children and i have lived in anchorage our whole lives if you have younger children you may be watching molly of denali with them molly is athabaskan too the first day of camp a whole bunch of us were processing salmon for canning so we went straight to work tg william and i were in the classroom a little early so we helped the teacher set up salmon is preserved in a lot of ways and canning is a modern one and important we learned how to pack salmon into jars why our teacher preferred jars to cans and we cut and packed up a lot of salmon tg processing salmon at the end of the day i asked tg and william if they had fun they had worked listened to a presentation on safe canning methods and we walked around the museum some i also got myself a pair of baleen hair sticks from one of the artists on side they both agreed it was a whole lot of fun the qaspeq that tg is wearing is one that belonged to her grandmother it s about 50 years old you can get my free qaspeq coloing page here qaspeq kuspuk coloring page a couple days later we got to work on canning the fish the salmon was packed into the jars raw you can see what it looks like before and after canning in this photo canning it cooks it and the bones soften so much that they can be eaten a good source calcium canning can also be used to preserve other meats using a pressure canner our local extension service has instructions for canning walrus becky told us how she made her canned moose stew we also had a class on safety procedures that was good tg won a water bottle in that class and she was really happy i missed a class on plants because i had an appointment tg and william took extensive notes and enjoyed the class a lot they both came home with jars of yarrow salve from that class the plant class i did take taught by meda dewitt was about nettles we went out and picked some nettles and stripped them we learned about how to use the seeds to make a tincture how to use the leaves for tea and food and then made a simple hand spun twine using the fiber then we got a presentation from chef sean sherman that was fantastic if you don t know who chef sherman is he is a james w beard award winning chef with a passion and vision for indigenous foods he is also known as the sioux chef i went totally fangirl when i found out he was going to be here a couple friends of mine from minnesota who had been to some of his presentations told me how much i was going to enjoy it an elder gifted him with some muktuk whale fat and skin that he shared it was the first time that my children had tried muktuk it was not the last time that week they had muktuk they both loved it chef sherman said it tasted like the sea chef sean sherman sharing muktuk his vision is wonderful it s about creating new recipes and learning the old recipes finding how which foods have been traditionally harvested in various regions wild foods foraged foods he wants to empower indigenous people to set up businesses both for supply and finished products such as restaurants it is an exciting vision and you can find out more at the sioux chef and natifs if you re interested in chef sean sherman s book you can buy it using the link below amazon affiliate links won t affect your price and the small commission

athabaskan chef sean sherman food foraging natifs wild food friday august 16 2019 classic alaskan russian tea mix recipe russian tea mix tea and cookies i asked my daughter where we should stage this photo she really loves this rock in our yard for photos for how much sun is in that area there are a lot of lasting influences of russian colonization in alaska one of them is an enjoyment of hot fruity teas one of the most popular russian teas is to add jam made from berries collected over the fall to brewed black tea the most popular though hands down is made with various drink mixes and spices and used as an instant tea my mother was a jam in tea sort so the first time i had the drink mix kind was in summer camp as child i loved it and came home with the recipe my mother the hippie was absolutely appalled the only other time i saw her that shocked over my tastes was when i came home from a slumber party insisting the other young woman s mother had made the best mac and cheese ever mom called for the recipe and found out it was kraft anyway this is my recipe it s less sweet and more tea then a lot of the mix recipes i hope you enjoy it american measurements used the parenthesis are the product i used and link to amazon russian tea mix recipe 1 cup instant tea lipton unsweetened unflavored decaffeinated 2 cups sweetened orange drink mix tang 1 packet unsweetened lemonade mix kool aid 1 1 4 tsp ground cinnamon 3 4 tsp ground cloves mix ingredients well put into a pretty jar to mix start with 3 tbsp of mix my coffee cups are mostly 10 oz put in the mix top with hot or boiling water let cool enough to taste add more mix or sugar to taste as a gift include a note with mixing instructions i do plan to re do this post later with pretty printable recipes and tags there are stories about this kind of tea being served to musher s on the iditarod trail tang is so popular that to make a recipe that was actually measured out and not just me doing it by eye meant going to 3 stores and finding the one can left on the shelf in the back of the shelf at the last store as an adult i prefer jam in tea but tg and william both really like this version for it s

out some of our favorite spots for berries some of them i won t show pictures of because they are secret places my family goes to but others like arctic valley are well known enough that i m happy to show pictures arctic valley has a lot of kinds of berries available but what we plan to go there specifically for is crowberries in a lot of the books i have it says that aren t choice berries well that s what the books say the elders i ve spoken to love them and my family will eat them out of hand as well as using them for jam and pies not that we will turn down other berries of course we will pick what s available obligatory warning never ever eat a berry or mushroom you aren t certain of in your identification so we were checking out how it looks this year it s still early but we decided we would have 2 days of specifically picking for elders one of those days will be crowberries the drive up is one of those typically alaskan gorgeous drives there s a lot of it that is dirt roads with a few pull outs to take in the scenery in one of those pull outs michael spotted a rabbit william and the amazing turnip girl love it up there a lot of the photos i took are for a project i m working on to help my family identify berries in all stages of growth i will be putting that together in e book form as well with recipes today i also took photos of some flowers i hope you enjoy them lots of

dandelions i was just asked on facebook about eating dandelions the answer deserves it s own blog post not just a reply to a comment dandelions are one of those superfoods in every way every part of a dandelion is edible my family doesn t eat the stems because they take some preparation and can cause stomach upset but the rest of it we do fortunately when my children were little they blew lots of dandelions and my lawn is not chemically treated first thing make sure your dandelions come from places that are not treated with chemicals or close to busier roads with exhaust particulates that will fall on the dandelion you don t want to eat those things okay have a safe place to harvest in the spring young green leaf rosettes can be pulled up or cut off at the base rinse them pat them dry and fry them in a tempura batter for a nice treat later in spring start looking for buds close to the ground the buds should be tightly closed and sort of squared off at the top a tapering bud like formation is after blooming but before going to seed a new bud tapers down to a rounded end at the stem and has a flat wide top in comparison to the base i ll post a picture here later the buds can

a smaller jar full of brine or a small zip bag full of brine make sure all your vegetables are completely submerged put the top on the jar finger tip tight and put it in a warm but not too warm part of your house check every day to make sure that it s not building up too much pressure you ll see bubbles forming that s normal if the button on the top of the jar won t press down relieve the
