text: No matter who you are, where you come from, what you eat, people will expect you to live like them and eat what they eat. When Creator made earth, he put many different types of animals in every part of the world. You will not find caribou, walruses, polar bears in the east coast or west coast. Our people did not choose these animals for St. Lawrence Island, they were chosen for us by Creator. Our people did not choose to be born Yupik, we were chosen; just like you were chosen to be born into your own skin. There are many different people, many different cultures, and many different traditions. Take the time to get to know reasons behind why each culture live the way they do. You are not the only important person. Where we come from its about all of us, in the city its about "me". Accept, respect, love, and understanding makes you a good spirited human. I am very proud of my nephew Chris Apassingok! He did what he knows to do, feed his people. Try it. You'll feel good from deep within
