I find my thoughts returning to Terry Thiese’ Reading Between the Wines on a regular basis. Today when I was attempting to find a passage that I wanted to reference, I found inspiration in another. One of the chapters that Thiese laid out in his treatise is entitled “The Three Humors.” Theise feels that there […]

Earlier this fall my daughter was presented with the challenge of creating a drawing that would be adjudicated by the Juneau Public Library in a contest that would grant winners the honor of their entry being printed into a bookmark for the library system.

It’s time to get out with my kids on a Sunday and ski. Looking through pictures to find words, I found this. We fish for salmon in Bristol Bay, captain boats, pick and pull nets. We sell fish, save some for ourselves, and eat fish. We share this bounty with our families and friends. It […]

My mother is from the Naknek River district of Bristol Bay and I have spent every summer of my life there. At the age of ten I began participating in the commercial harvest of salmon with setnets. I was fortunate to know my great grandfather, Paul Chukan, who was still fishing when I entered […]

Another season in Bristol Bay has come and gone. Another year of the tides replacing the time of the clock. Ebb and flow, in and out, breathe, pulse, set, pull, and pick. Elemental strength of nature harnessed within the objects of our harvest. They come in droves and sometimes it seems as if they are […]

When you think about Bristol Bay, the fishing island of Kodiak is closer than you might realize. Its safe to say that Kodiak is the fishing hub of Alaska and many of its residents are connected to the fishery in Bristol Bay in direct and indirect ways. A number of Bristol Bay drift and set-net […]
