SUE AIKENS (off screen): They’re getting pretty nervous.
(whispers) Come on, stay still.
Don’t fly, don’t fly.
(mimicking geese call)
-(geese honking) -(gunshot)
My nemesis has arrived in force,
and I’m talking about the geese.
There’s two up there.
It’s gonna be damn hard to hide from them.
Goose is amazing food. Full of good fat.
There’s just not enough good to be said about it.
(whispering) Don’t you go anywhere, you little (bleep).
(bleep)
(mimicking goose call)
The geese come through here for a short window.
I’ve done it to death,
but I’m not successful here.
It’s my Achilles’ heel.
Let’s get a band-aid on that sucker and make it happen.
(whispering) I got more right here.
There’s a line of them here and here.
(mimicking goose call)
They always play it safe.
They always err on the side of caution.
I like my feathers on myself, not in your pillow.
Gone.
-Oh, there’s more. -(geese honking)
(mimicking goose call)
Oh, come on, a little closer.
Where you going, psychos?
A bunch of feathers down.
Here, fine.
Dang.
God, why?
(geese honking)
I will keep trying.
I have to ante up and learn and get it done.
I’m single.
Nobody’s doing it for me.
And I don’t want ’em to.
Just because I don’t get it the hundred and fiftieth time,
there’s always a hundred and fifty-first.
Patience. Patience, patience.
SKARLETT DEWILDE: If you don’t take your shot in life,
you’ll never know if you make it or not.
RICKO DEWILDE: Do you guys see a beaver house
or a place where the beaver are hanging out.
Like you’ll see where they’re sitting on the side of the bank
where they ate willows.
That’s usually where they’re at.
They should be coming out pretty soon.
It’s getting late.
Today is a big day for Skarlett,
because I’m teaching her how to hunt beaver.
It’s important for her to learn to shoot
and take care of herself when she’s in the woods.
Just as important as it is for my sons.
A lot of beaver sign around here.
-SKYLER DEWILDE: Oh, beaver! -RICKO: Oh, right there, right there, right there.
Hold on, hold on. Stay calm.
Wait, wait, wait. Wait till we get close.
SKARLETT: It splashed.
RICKO: There you go. It’ll pop up again.
SKARLETT: Okay.
RICKO: Okay, where’d it go?
They have holes under the bank
where they can come up in the willows.
They can dive for a long time.
SKARLETT: It makes me feel great
that my dad is teaching me
and making me feel stronger and better about myself.
It’s just very important.
RICKO: Oh, he’s up ahead. I see a wake.
You see that little wake?
Oh yeah, he’s up ahead. Okay, you see him?
You see where he’s gonna come up?
-SKARLETT: No. -RICKO: Further up ahead.
Further up ahead. You see the water ripple?
It’s gonna come up right there. Get ready.
Right there, in the willows.
(gunshot)
-A little high. -SKARLETT: Did I get it?
Dang it.
RICKO: That’s okay. Wait and watch.
Many things hide good.
-Oh, right there, right there! -SKARLETT: Where?
RICKO: Right in the willows.
Oh, you see him?
(gunshot)
Shoot him again.
Uh, you shoot, you shoot too high.
You see that swirl in front of us?
That’s where he’s going.
You’re looking at too much sight, Skar.
-You got to tuck it down more. -SKARLETT: Yeah, I know.
RICKO: Skarlett, she tries a few shots
at this beaver, misses,
and she’s feeling a little down on herself.
SKARLETT: I think that beaver’s gone.
RICKO: I don’t know where that beaver went.
He probably went up under the cut bank somewhere.
SKARLETT: Ah.
RICKO: We’ll just look for more.
That one’s gone.
It’s a lot harder to catch a beaver than she thinks.
We see them a lot. But they are smart animals.
But it’s not over yet.
TINMIAQ HAILSTONE: As the seasons keep on rolling,
we just go with it.
MARY HAILSTONE: Where we gonna set the net?
-IRIQTAQ HAILSTONE: More over-- -TINMIAQ: Look, there’s a spot right here
right behind this willow.
MARY: Idi, you want to jump off?
IRIQTAQ: Yeah, I’ll--
WADE HAILSTONE: I could jump off too.
TINMIAQ: It’s a new salmon season.
So today, while my mom’s doing some camp chores,
me and my sisters are gonna set a net.
She’s taught us the different spots on the river.
What are good chances of catching fish.
So hopefully we’ll have some fish for her.
QUTAN HAILSTONE: Ooh, bugs.
(mosquitoes buzzing)
IRIQTAQ: It’s been a few years
since my sisters and I spent some time
in the summer together,
and I’m pretty happy that it’s during the fishing season.
-TINMIAQ: That post is in good? -IRIQTAQ: Yeah.
We’ve all been growing apart with our own lives lately,
so it’s a pretty great chance to go out today
and make sure we all know how to set a net
so we can provide for our own families.
Lots of bugs out today, huh?
MARY: Man, these bugs.
QUTAN: Ah! Freakin’ mosquito.
So many bugs.
QUTAN: Okay, should we do this now?
IRIQTAQ: Okay.
Okay, can’t pass more than half of the river
so just got to back up to the shallow end.
Okay, just make sure it doesn’t tangle.
MARY: Oh, way too fast or what?
IRIQTAQ: Try stop! Slow down a little bit.
TINMIAQ: Alright, Qutan. I’m stuck on ground.
MARY: I don’t know why she went that way.
-IRIQTAQ: Yeah. -MARY: She needs to go straight.
You need to go reverse straight.
TINMIAQ: I can’t straighten out.
Qutan, I’m going forward. Hold onto it.
QUTAN: Is that it?
TINMIAQ: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
QUTAN: Whoa, whoa, what’s going on, Ting?
IRIQTAQ: Yeah, there you go, Tinmiaq.
Just like that and then bring it back, the rope.
QUTAN: It’s pretty shallow over here.
TINMIAQ: When you set the net, you want it straight.
Because if you have a curve, the fish will see it
and they’ll swim and bounce right off of it.
IRIQTAQ: Okay, Tinmiaq!
Turn your back end and go upriver a little bit,
so it can straighten out.
TINMIAQ: It’s a (bleep) sandbar.
IRIQTAQ: Oh my gosh.
-TINMIAQ: Alright, alright, alright. -IRIQTAQ: Tinmiaq?
TINMIAQ: We’re gonna go way forward, okay.
QUTAN: Okay, Ting, go forward, yeah.
MARY: Don’t get caught in the net.
TINMIAQ: The river changes every year,
and it’s a very shallow river when it does get low tide,
so that’s where we’re trying to set the nets,
is on the deeper side of the sandbar.
MARY: There’s these sticks right here.
IRIQTAQ: Okay, now you will really have
to make sure those aren’t getting caught.
We all know what we’re doing
and we’re all trying to do it our way,
so things get a little heat but it’s how sisters work.
Okay, don’t get my net tangled to the willows!
What are you doing, Tinmiaq?
QUTAN: That’s about halfway, right?
IRIQTAQ: No. It is not.
MARY: You need to go straight.
IRIQTAQ: You guys got to watch what the hell is going on.
TINMIAQ: Alright, we can’t do this.
QUTAN: We’ll figure it out.
IRIQTAQ: Tie this up like they want.
TINMIAQ: No, you girls just pull it in
and we’ll just restart.
Just pull it in and we’ll retry
but this time I’ll go straight back that way.
MARY: Let’s pull it in.
IRIQTAQ: Okay.
You know, you might snip and snap at each other.
But we all know not to take it serious.
We’re all good at the end of the day.
We, you know, work together, live together.
Just girls being girls.
TINMIAQ: Okay, if I back up and I go this way,
then it’ll fit right.
-MARY: Yeah. -TINMIAQ: But trying to back up
on the sandbar does not do anything.
So we just reset. Easiest thing to do.
QUTAN: Alright, ladies,
let’s try this again.
Woo-hoo-hoo.
IRIQTAQ: I actually really love working with my sisters
’cause those are the people
that I’m most comfortable with.
Little bit more.
We work pretty well together.
You know, we just got to get on the same track.
Pull your line tight.
Yup. Right there, that would be ten feet.
TINMIAQ: Go ahead, baby, drop that anchor.
There you go.
Perfect, baby. Perfect.
Thank you, Qutan.
QUTAN: Now that’s a good set net.
MARY: Wow, good set.
IRIQTAQ: Okay, there’s so much bugs,
I think it’s time to go.
Pretty happy that we all got to work together,
and it was actually a great day
for all of us, I believe.
Pretty happy to be out with them today.
-MARY: Alright. -IRIQTAQ: That’s pretty good.
It looks even.
-MARY: Yay. -QUTAN: Yay!
-Yeah! -IRIQTAQ: Did a good job, baby.
TINMIAQ: Now come on, fish.
Now we just need fish.
DENISE BECKER: This is a real wilderness.
I need to stay sharp to it all.
Pay attention to the environment.
Feel it, see it, sense it in its entirety.
This looks like a good spot.
I’m gonna set this up.
While Andy is occupied doing his thing around here,
I’m gonna have a day to myself.
I want to get out to the lake
and see what’s out there,
hopefully do some hunting.
See what I can do with that shotgun.
At about twenty yards first.
One, two, three.
It’s really, really important to me to hunt ethically.
I don’t want to injure something and not kill it.
But I’m taking a shotgun out there
that I have never even shot before.
So, I want to see how it shoots,
feel how it shoots, and know this gun properly
so that I can make a good, ethical kill shot.
-(gunshot) -Whoa.
DENISE: Whoa, man.
I brought in Ensure Max Protein
with 30 grams of protein.
Those who tried me
felt more energy in just two weeks.
Uhhhh...
Here, I’ll take that.
[Woo Hoo!]

Everything about this shotgun is a lot different,
and the biggest difference in firing this shotgun
is the kickback.
And it’s, it hits. It’s hard.
Oh wow!
Woo.
Look at all those BBs.
I had no idea there were that many.
I was aiming up here,
and the patterning is all lower.
So I came in lower than I was aiming.
It’s different. It feels different.
The sighting is different.
It’s, it’s just a whole different beast.
And practicing is very, very worthwhile.
I’m gonna go further back.
Let’s see how, how that one will shoot up.
The things that I’m learning, I’m at the point
where I just need to do it on my own
so that I problem solve,
I figure out all entirely from my own initiative.
Because for me, that’s how I learn the best.
Andy and I go out and do things together,
but then I need to walk alone.
Okay. Bracing.
-(gunshot) -Oh!
Man, that kicks hard.
Woo. Let me go see how that looks.
Okay, twenty yards versus forty yards.
Big difference.
The BBs have spread way out.
Anything in that range would be hit.
So that’s impressive. Good lessons.
Ready to head out to the lake.
SUE: Don’t become the hunted
while you’re busy worried about being a big hunter.
Out here, you can be the king and the jester.
This pond...
...it’s just a nice kind of hidden away area...
...for ducks and geese to land.
So we’re just gazing around to see,
is this a potential for a good hunting spot?
I’ve been seeing these seagulls and ravens,
and they’re on something.
As I’m trying to hunt the geese,
scavenger birds, they’re congregating.
I’m not sure what’s happening,
but it tells me there’s a predator around,
I better be on my guard.
It is definitely worth checking out over there.
Bears are looking for a meal. Wolves are looking for a meal.
Wolverines are looking for a meal.
If there’s something creeping around,
I need to know about it.
I’m gonna get out here and just take a look-see.
So I’ve got a carcass here.
Looks like maybe you’ve got a female.
I kind of guessed because of the structure
of the horns and everything.
Here’s your bigger clue.
This is a little baby.
She probably maybe was even giving birth
when something went down.
Oh, I’m sorry, little dude.
That blood is bright red.
That’s fresh.
This is a recent, like now, death scene.
No predator is gonna just eat this much and walk off
and say I’m done, I’m out of here.
It’s around.
They definitely know I’m here.
They always do, they’re watching.
So it’s in my own best interest to get myself in the vehicle
and get my butt back home.
And keep my eyes open.
SKARLETT: It’s important in life
to keep trying till you succeed.
-Oh, right there. -RICKO: Oh.
Is that one?
-No, that’s a stump. -SKARLETT: Yeah.
Dang it.
Now everything just seems like a beaver.
NARRATOR: The open waterways of spring are key
for the DeWilde family,
allowing them to hunt small game
on the rivers and sloughs.
They’re hunting for beavers, a vital source of meat and fur.
As Ricko’s daughter Skarlett nears her teenage years,
the hunt is also a lesson in the strength
and independence of the Athabaskan woman.
RICKO: They’re hard to get, huh?
SKARLETT: Yeah.
RICKO: I want Skarlett to be able to shoot
because not only is it teaching her
how to survive in the woods,
it’s teaching her how to survive in life.
Any kind of tough situation,
I want her to be calm and collected.
So I think it’s more than just shooting
at a beaver today.
It’s a lot deeper than that.
It’s about making the right choices
in a situation that has your emotions out of control.
Oh, right there, Skar.
Just take it easy, take it easy.
Stay calm.
Yeah, you can get up there and be ready
in case you have to grab it.
SKARLETT: Dang it.
RICKO: Get ready. It’s gonna come up right there, get ready.
(gunshot)
Oh, you got it. Sky, get up there, get up there, get up there.
Move out of the way, Skar. Grab it by the back legs.
-SKYLER: Can I shoot it one more time. -RICKO: Grab it.
Just grab it by the back legs.
Get it. Get it, get it, get it.
Before it sinks.
SKYLER: Ah. I don’t know what to--
RICKO: Lay down. Grab it by the back leg.
SKYLER: I can’t, he’s way too far.
RICKO: Oh (bleep)
You got to grab that.
Sky, you can’t be scared. You got to grab that thing.
Grab it, grab it if you can grab it.
Tell me what to do. We’re gonna get it.
We’re gonna get it, right there.
Okay, you got it.
-SKYLER: Aah! -RICKO: Just grab it, Sky!
(bleep) Sky, you got to grab it!
RICKO: Sky, gr it next time, don’t let it get away.

CAROL HAILSTONE: I hope we have something in the net, eh?
TINMIAQ: Yup. Ooh, do the fish dance!
Throughout our lives,
we’ve been here on the Kiwalik as we grew up.
And fishing is something that we’ve done
with our parents every year.
I’ve got my four younger sisters here.
And all five of us girls are going out to go check the net.
I hope the net is as loaded as this boat!
With the girls, girls, girls. And fish, fish, fish.
The salmon season’s just beginning.
There’s five types of salmon that come in.
The first ones are the chum from fresh out of the ocean.
Slowly, the salmon starts trickling in,
and we’re waiting for the salmon to hit.
IRIQTAQ: Alright, two of you grab it.
CAROL: I could grab it like this.
-IRIQTAQ: Okay. -CAROL: Can I?
IRIQTAQ: Yeah, okay. There you go.
This river has actually fed our family for generations.
My mother raised us on this river,
and I’m happy to have the opportunity
to take my children here
and feed them from this river as well.
TINMIAQ: No salmon yet.
CAROL: Nothing back there?
TINMIAQ: No even sticks down here.
Oh, a couple little ones. Mud.
IRIQTAQ: Today, I’m hoping to be successful
with the fish net that we had set.
The salmon season up here is a pretty short season,
so we try to get the most we can
for everybody in our family.
There’s no fish ’cause the salmon run hasn’t hit yet.
QUTAN: Yeah, got to wait a couple more days.
-IRIQTAQ: I know. -TINMIAQ: It’ll be full as soon as it does.
IRIQTAQ: Since this mesh is too big
to catch any other fish,
the fish are just passing on by.
You guys want to go set this other net a little more upriver?
CAROL: Yeah, this is a bigger mesh than whitefish mesh.
IRIQTAQ: Yup.
TINMIAQ: Anything besides the salmon
passing through, we could try to catch those too.
Still want to eat fish for dinner.
Since the salmon net that we’ve set
hasn’t hit anything yet,
we’re gonna go on ahead up here and set another net.
CAROL: Right there looks like a good spot.
IRIQTAQ: I spent most of my summers here.
So, I grew up fishing out here.
I pretty much know how to work every kind of fish.
Over the years, just keep collecting
as much as I could from my mother’s knowledge.
You know, I pay close attention to everything
or the details that she tells me.
CAROL: Do it at an angle, too. Yeah, that angle.
-TINMIAQ: Yeah, at an angle. -CAROL: Like this.
-TINMIAQ: Sideways. -CAROL: Qutan.
TINMIAQ: If the stake is at an angle,
it’ll hold the net better. Yup.
CAROL: I’d say we have to learn
these skills while we can,
because we’re gonna be older soon.
And we’re gonna have to keep doing this
to provide for our own families.
TINMIAQ: Here we go, ladies.
CAROL: Right now is a perfect time to learn.
We’re all together, having fun.
It’s a good way to learn and a good memory to have.
We could always tighten it after you guys are done too,
so it doesn’t go across, halfways across the river.
QUTAN: Kind of special having all of us girls here together
’cause it doesn’t usually happen that often.
So it’s nice to have everyone hanging around camp.
-IRIQTAQ: Alright, Qutan. -QUTAN: Ready? Go ahead.
TINMIAQ: We just got to wait for the fish to come.
That’s all we need now.
QUTAN: Right on.
Even a whitefish would be great.

And in this environment, it’s part of life.
I’m definitely within my forty-yard range.

Oof, this looks good, this looks good.
It’s a proud moment for me.
My daughter put food on the table,
that’s a big deal out here
and it’s, it proves to me that she’s really strong.
How is it?
SKYLER: I like it. I like the fat.
RICKO: Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.
SKARLETT: Where’s the heart?
RICKO: There’s no heart.
-SKARLETT: What’d you say? -RICKO: Sorry.
SKYLER: Beavers don’t have hearts?
RICKO: I didn’t put the heart in there, sorry.
Good shooting though, Skar.
Just like your late grandma, headshot.
Watched her do it all my life.
That’s not an easy shot, the boat’s moving,
the beaver’s moving.
And to make a headshot.
SKYLER: And with a .22.
RICKO: Yeah, that’s a tiny little bullet
you’re killing the animal with,
and you have to hit it in the head.
SKARLETT: Yeah.
My dad, he was like really proud of me,
and my brother was too.
And that just made me feel
really nice about myself.
I get it, to provide for my family,
it was a really good feeling.
I was really scared.
RICKO: How come you were scared?
SKARLETT: Because I thought I was gonna miss again.
RICKO: Oh, you thought you were gonna let me down?
SKARLETT: Yeah.
RICKO: I wouldn’t be disappointed.
I, I probably wanted you to get it
just because I wanted you to feel proud of yourself
’cause I want you, as a girl,
to know that you don’t need, like, some guy
to take care of you all the time.
It’s important that you’re able to take care of yourself.
It’s not all about just the men out here,
it’s the women too, the women are a huge part of our life.
Women are just as strong as men,
and it’s important that my daughter understands that.
You never got to meet your grandma,
but your grandma was real powerful woman
and you’re part of her, you know.
You come from that,
and she was woman power for sure.
Skarlett, she has strength with her,
and that strength is gonna carry her
into the future a long ways
because when opportunity arises
she’s able to capitalize on it.
We come from a strong line of Athabaskan Indians out here.
Not only that blood flows in me,
it flows in my daughter Skarlett.
I want my daughter to be proud of who she is.
A strong, Athabaskan lady.
Woman power?
SKARLETT: Woman power!
RICKO: I get a hug too.
SKARLETT: Yeah.
-RICKO: Love you. -SKARLETT: Love you.
(Ricko laughs)
SUE: Hunting is hunting, it’s not shopping.
You don’t win every time.
SUE: Phew!
I can smell the crime scene already.
(rifle clicking)
Yesterday, went out, missed a bunch of geese.
I kept noticing a whole lot of seagulls
and I see it’s a carcass of a caribou,
so I’m splitting my persona to say,
find out more information about what kind of predator,
is it still active, where the hell is it.
By the way, where’s the geese? I want to kill some too.
This is bear poopy.
My guess is a bear, maybe a female,
maybe it has a cub, I don’t know.
I firmly believe that when I rolled up here...
...I disrupted something.
Something caught my eye over there,
I don’t know what it was.
Oh my god, there he is.
What I’m looking at now is a grizzly bear, big bear.
A kill site is something they protect,
and this bear is definitely trying to sniff.
The wind is coming this way.
He’s angled himself to where
he’s getting my scent right now.
Man.
How crazy is this, how beautifully crazy?
(birds squawking)
(bleep) There they are, there they are.
You see the two flying?
(mimicking bird call)
You want to make yourself
and your body happy?
Eat this.
Yeah?
Like the cilantro with the onion and the jalepeno
and like the tomato.
You put that in your mouth
and like your taste buds go crazy.
I like crazy.
Oh I love it.

DENISE: A lot about hunting is just waiting it out,
waiting for them to come to you.
If you just stand still and observe,
that’s when you see it all starting to happen.
Oh my gosh.
Oh man, I can’t believe it,
a muskrat just popped up right there.
I’m gonna try the .22.
He went down, he’s gotta come up for air somewhere.
Oh, this hunting is just, it’s a little nerve-wracking.
It’s a lot of patience in this.
And even when I see ’em, it’s not about just seeing ’em,
it’s about making sure they’re in my range,
I get a good shot.
(sighs)
I need eyes in the back of my head for this.
Oh, I see him.
(rifle clicks)
(click)
What the heck?
Oh my god!
I’ve never had that happen.
I didn’t know what a misfire, how it would feel, what it was,
but I pulled the trigger, and it was a dead click.
Oh my god.
That’s the whole thing about me having my own experience.
There’s nobody else to tell me what to do.
I’ve got to think through it,
and you realize how fumbly you are.
You realize how crucial those moments can be.
I just put a new one in.
To have somebody right there to say,
"Oh, it misfired, do this?"
It’s not the same.
You don’t get the same adrenaline charge.
You don’t get the same thought processing.
You don’t take away the same lessons.
You just don’t.
All these things are not instinctive to me yet.
They’re slowly becoming more, my senses are changing,
the way I handle the environment is changing,
but it’s not instinctive.
Right there, right there.
(gunshot)
Oh.
Oh, got ’em.
Yes, yes!
Oh, look at, there we go.
Yes. Yes.
Wow, that will go perfectly with my duck.
What a beautiful creature he is.
Nice. Thanks, little guy.
The patience have paid off.
It’s been quite a day out here.
Man, look at this. Just phenomenal.
Just a reminder of why I live here.
TINMIAQ: Mother Nature could be pretty harsh,
but just like anything else in life
if you take care of it, it takes care of you.
TINMIAQ: The seasons are pretty short so while we’re here,
we’re trying to catch as much as we can.
When we’re out here, we’re not only getting things
for right now as we’re living,
but we’re getting things that’ll help us
throughout the year.
CAROL: Oh my goodness. Look at it.
QUTAN (gasps): What the heck?
MARY: Where’s the net?
TINMIAQ: The whole net is on the ground?
CAROL: Oh my goodness.
The high tide just blew it,
blew it right in, eh?
TINMIAQ: No, I don’t think it would’ve been the tide.
CAROL: Maybe the rock got untied or something.
MARY: What the heck?
CAROL: Oh, look, there’s tracks.
TINMIAQ: There’s bear tracks.
CAROL: Look how big. Size of my hand.
You could really see its paws, eh?
IRIQTAQ: Bear is pretty smart.
If there was any fish,
that’s some pretty good pickings.
CAROL: It’s pretty crazy there was actually a bear
that went and got our net and drug it up on the shore.
When I first pulled up, I was like, what the heck?
Did the high tide do that?
But it seems as if the bear just drug it up,
checked our net for us, and walked off.
Knowing there’s a bear around,
we know to always look around
and keep our eyes open a lot more.
TINMIAQ: I didn’t even have my gun honestly.
CAROL: I’m pretty sure the dog will start barking,
I hope she looks around.
TINMIAQ: I don’t think the bear will take the net twice,
so we should reset it if it’s not too holey.
CAROL: Good reminder to always take a gun with us also.
We didn’t have a gun out there.
It could’ve been a way different story.
TINMIAQ: Okay. You guys ready?
CAROL: Well, let’s go check the other net.
Could you pass me the hook please?
I’ll hook the net.
Here you go, Idi.
Oh, look!
-TINMIAQ: Wow. -CAROL: There’s salmon!
OK, we’d open with creaky footsteps.
"W-w-what is that?!" "Ahhh!" And you go...
"It’s the money you could save
by bundling your home and car insurance!" "Ahhh!"
Wait, wouldn’t they be happy about the savings?!
They’re scared of how happy savings make them feel.
Ah, of course.
GEICO.

“What now, Dad?”
So I said, find a job, any job.
Work hard. That’s just how it is.
But of course, you didn’t listen.
You showed me there’s another way.
I’m proud of you.

TINMIAQ: Yes, the salmon are in.
CAROL: Holy cow!
Oh my goodness. There’s two of them.
-TINMIAQ: Whoo! -CAROL: Heavy.
Oh my goodness. There’s another one! Yes!
TINMIAQ: This is the first fresh salmon
of the year that we got.
It’s very exciting,
especially since my sisters have been here to help.
And when we all work together, we get it done pretty quick.
Let’s go show mom our salmon?
ALL: Yeah.
TINMIAQ: The salmon sisters.
MARY: Yay.
TINMIAQ: Beautiful.
IRIQTAQ: Doing stuff like this with my sisters

CAROL: Anchor up.
AGNES HAILSTONE: How’d it go, girls?
CAROL: We had fun. We got four.
-Four salmon. -QUTAN: Four salmon.
AGNES: Oh, you guys caught salmon?
-CAROL: Yep. -AGNES: Hey.
CAROL: First one.
AGNES: Wow.
Well, that’s a blessing that they’re back.
CAROL: Yeah.
AGNES: That means we got a couple weeks
of salmon fishing to do.
IRIQTAQ: Yay.
AGNES: You girls did a good job.
I’m so proud of you girls.
TINMIAQ: The salmon net working.
On the other net, the bear came up and it grabbed it,
and it drug it up on the sandbar.
-AGNES: The whole net? -TINMIAQ: Yeah, the whole net.
CAROL: Yeah, it pulled it all the way up onto the shore.
TINMIAQ: We didn’t have a gun, so we just reset it
and we just come back.
AGNES: I’m so glad you girls are safe.
It’s really awesome for me
to see my girls are successful in so many ways.

it’s not only me who’s teaching them.
My mother was there, my grandmother was there.

DENISE: My favorite thing about spring is the transition,
the coming alive of everything
and here it’s just on steroids.
(wind gusting)
(laughs)
Man.
(squawking)
Spring is just an incredible time.
Every aspect of change out here.
The sounds, the smells,
just changes so fast out here.
Wow, what a day.
I’m really happy with what I got today, not a lot.
I got one duck, one muskrat, that’s perfect.
And sitting here doing this, I just feel my hunter lens
shifting back to my explorer lens
and appreciation lens.
It’s actually a little overwhelming.
The beauty, the life,
everything that’s here,
something that’s really hard to even express.
It’s, it’s a feeling, it’s an emotion,
it’s something you just have to experience.
This whole experience has been
a very intimate one for me.
The reason I’m here is just reinforced all the more.
There’s definitely moments where I can’t even believe
this is real.
It’s so surreal to me at times
that there can be all this beauty.
(birds chirping)
Oh, that’s so nice.
I haven’t heard songbirds yet this spring.
(chirping)
Oh, I just, I feel, I feel really good about the day.
To me, the bounty is a lot more than just
the weight in meat I’m taking back home.
It’s a lot about
the whole experience.
The feeling I’m taking, that’s what really matters.
What I’m in the middle of,
what I’m a tiny part of,
it makes you feel small but not insignificant
because this place gives you power.
It gives you confidence to try new things,
and it gives you a can-do approach to life.
