Hey, everybody, it's Marielle.
Alana Hurley was born and raised in southwest Alaska in a village of about 100.
My grandma made the best traditional smoked fish like her.
Traditionally smoked salmon was just the best.
Alana is you pick.
And she grew up with her grandma.
One day, her grandma needed some maintenance work done around the house.
She was a widow and she'd struck a deal with a tradesman who worked in a local salmon cannery,
a non native man who came to the property to help out.
I took the smoked salmon out to the tradesman who was,
I think he was fixing her smokehouse and the makiwik and a few other things.
The fish was payment for his work in the form of a barter or trade.
I just remember he immediately took it out and he was like, oh, I love this stuff.
And he just immediately started eating it.
