Did the original peoples of Alaska have a limited access to fruits and vegetables?

Hmm, are you talking about the aboriginal people who lived in Alaska before Europeans arrived?  Those people did some fishing, as did some later immigrants to the region, but there wasn’t a lot of agriculture around Alaska before the Europeans arrived.  Let’s try this question together!

Yeah. How did they get their food groups?
user
As you already mentioned, the aboriginal people in Alaska did some fishing, but they also hunted animals and gathered berries.
assistant
So fruit was a luxury?
user
Well, when people say fruit, they usually mean fruits like apples and oranges, which we don’t have a lot of in Alaska.  But yes, fruit is a luxury item, if you only have berries to eat, you probably can’t afford much fruit.

Yes, fruit was only eaten by some of the higher social classes, but berries were something that everyone ate.
