the, the, [000:00:00;00] the society or your credit accounts offensively, you know, it was a fire that there was serious of lucian's on the,

on the west and ukrainian side issues about their own strength illusions about strength of the russian opponents. basically the, you know, the take their to rush or, and your crime was a door that just had to be checked and then the whole structure would come, come from coming into the solution as i've been shopping with the grandfather, fish right here in this area in this area here and there, and then they'll take it a little bit further. the beach has been fixed by somebody in the lehman family for a 110 years. a similar way with at 1st with nets and flights. we have right now here in the english and then for quite a few years, my father says a fish trapped, and that would be with holes and chicken wire. and that was

a very good way to fish. and then when alaska became a state in 1959, that method of fishing was banned. and so we had to go back to reset your meetings, which is how we finish today. the going there. this is you there and i made and made him good net about 2 years ago. he has a little point to use it today and we caught. 6 first thing for fish out of his little point of judah next raymond, and his middle name is after my father raymond, the official scientific name,

the sockeye. but we call them red sam, and that's, that's the more common name is the one that we use. at least here in the know, taking a lot of people on the beach use the term read samples. this is what we're doing today is just subsistence fishing. it's trying to play fishing. when we do it the way with commercial fishing, we have longer. net, we use bigger boats, you know, and it is just done a lot differently, but it's in the same idea. we're still using a guild this this crap was tucked right up to the sort of tut from over there in the office from up there. to pull up from here. the sort of this are a good a, c o l. the car gail plate. the dry. so mean, yeah, so we took down some of smoke some and i like,

but now what we have here is another variety called the tucked cost. i'm basically plain dry. so this is furnace and cooked in a certain way. there are many types of cuts for drying and preparing, simon, this is a basic cost for, for dry skin or a blessed little hopefully some thoughts that were to live on where to live per year. so a lot of time saving the village from survey says you couldn't get a plane and there was no airport. the airport was built in 1958 and in the winter you kind of gets here on the boat. right. or? yeah, it gets pretty a rough up here, or like entrance to the cook and look,

i think it's waves coming from the gulf. full blast skinner. you see this? we've had this airport walk, talk to me in waves. huge waves come speed. they good toward one cross door to the port of the place where the rim land can land plain. this is driftwood park, nor do we use of the beach for smoking. it is very special. where do you want to use the bleach go to like i like that? and that way it doesn't make it bigger or strong. naturally, i stroke some in there. so if the fires get too hot, i can put a little cold on, just keep cold, smoke going to and then you can't get it too hard because you start to make a fire. if you cook too hot, you're going to burn. your fishing won't make good fish. it will be soft, mostly heated on. there's smoke hours is kind of work. the thing down in my time is

starting here to charge me because it's not live. this, this year smoke for a strange and up in there are, was taught this by my mom to dora taught me how to make it. she was taught by her folks. i've never changed the recipe and everyone just loves the smell. appreciates really big. i have one know a lot of uh, good compliments and ribbons, food affairs and everything else. but this is old fashion, the bleak molecules, hullabaloo, lake. yeah, lake, the scene right in front of the young never gets right. here is one here. this was the see partners. i think it's important to have this going to be good stuff. ok. when you try this, you know, just what you want more. you won't be able to start reading it next to that special

think it's a very, it's really, really good use mutual. and it's, it's like funny. mm hm. good fresh, wild fish. hold for the oh cool. the god we are liver, some of the me everything. yeah. head from head to tail. i'll go see you for noisy assignments from the express and this fall

a lay means the the for system thing. and so everyone goes, tries to catch that some of the local mall. um find me by mail or so no need to. so go no 1st the phone so far below who you say hello sir. uh no need. uh uh, well, uh, uh, this section of uh, north river when you look along the sides, that it reminds me of, of all of it. so similar that st. herman himself also said that i had been alone twice. i made the cell phone when i came home on that vehicle,

so people installed them for the door so i can to enter a cell phone with one of the hello. yeah. just so i can was painted in russia at the monastery, on the 20th of july, 18847. mm hm. correct. they survived all dfcs. not much to survive. well, there was a big fire. they say this is a brick that was gifted to our village to me when i came to alarm those gifted by his grace this

a funny crowdy. and this brook was made in the fall and we are very hopeful that will rebuild our church a bigger church. and this definitely will be a part of that foundation. and that's another connection to valid the door i saw through our church this break. and i pray and hope that the connection between the alarm and ours will become stronger and that many of us here will be able to go there and pray to gather friends or friends can come. and i noticed the relics of the same term and it was still very all or for st. very powerful or strong for yeah,

they were originally 10 bucks. but several of them went back even to report to the government about the abuses of the russian american company. one of them, you know, a software was a seminary graduate, was ordained bishop of cody atkins, sent back to alaska with, with us our, at the, to arrest around off and put an end to this, the white page of an abusive regime of the ship that brought them back saying so the 1st monks perished as late as the ship was lost at sea, even natalie was murdered. as we mentioned earlier, as a new customer, people on the shores of the bearings sea and eventually father herman, out of the 10 southern one was the only one left. and they tried to get rid of him there, the reports of assassination attempts, which is why he had to leave cody, i can move to a smaller 1st island, the olivia island, where he spent the rest of his life. but his father, herman's real, the, the devotion to him came from the idea that he was sticking up for the native people,

a great personal expense of risk. the july, the 1941 german troops ended in a stony of from the south soviet, sold as and civilians for the enemy courageously on the stony and soil go with thousands of casualties. fold up the federal home to us want to but we are giving you 52. i get the i'm not sure to frontier what city of even the beauty we bought the what is pushing it during the years following the soviet victory. a large number of monuments loveless and burial sites were rented to on of those who had fallen in the wall to get it to find me. serious. however, recently,

many of them have either been demolished vandalized or completely neglected as a result of those who do their best to preserve once the left of the memory. so as to prevent rewrite history and re make consciousness compared to the russian states. never as one of the most sense community best. most all sense i'm at the bottom of speaking. what else calls question about this? even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on russia to day and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency,

roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for the question, did you say even closer to the the wind just come into icon day and a specifically launch lagoon? uh. so icon day is over to our left here and then most soon is right in here on icon bay. got its name from the uh, the wonderful miracle when there was an earthquake. and, and so now anyways, saying, saying herman brought an icon as a sale, topo suprised to the beach over here. and i called today and said the water won't go by and that's fine, fast this line. and the way stops at the icon. i said multiple cases where people have of one particular case,

i remember very well or so. i see folks came and there was a, a cancer and terminal and they came in and neither individual was, was orthodontist favored us. but they had for the life of st. herman and i travelled side of 4000 miles to get here just to pray. even though they had no connection with the church of saint firm, and when the man went back for his checkup after returning, the doctors are mystified because the tumor was gone and there was no, there was no sign of it. so those, that's one of the things that i've had happen off of the, on top of the relic, worry, are the, the $1112.00 towns across rather across the st. herman seekers. the war under his roles that are either a heavy, very heavy and very uncomfortable. and who st roman would sleep on

a board and use either a rock or logs as a pillow. and when he had, when he entertain guests in his cell, he would take that board and he would put it over the stove to make it look like it was a table. he didn't want anybody know that that was how he split it. so interesting to think of his life and what it did, you know, to make that turn a from for a long to alaska in those days all on for this amazing. i always think they put a stop somewhere along the way. and so if you know this is nice and comfortable here, i could do or can, i could just settle here and, you know, serve the people here like that would be along the way. it didn't state and the other missionaries made it to the very end. they came to alaska. woods and the time

was like going to the moon. nobody knew what the last school was about. very feel. i don't know from the rest. and so i type in to alaska the course along like the natives. and he came and he served to his last breath. he was a well loved by the people respect that in the last it baptized many, it talked many and at the time of saint herman and he wanted to come out here and serve as a hermit. after his 1st year's antonia and the god had other plans for him and he, um, he started at an orphanage for the orphans after a plague, killed many of the parents, some of us to some of those schools. when that school in particular went to cisco later on and became a while, one of them went to the russian naval academy a crush dock. and at the end of his life was a major general in the russian army. so from spruce island that same and st. herman,

to cisco, to chrome, stuff and then a career in the russian military. so they, they did some serious teaching. it wasn't just something very simple. they knew, learned, and important, and some, some subjects in great depth. and today he still remembered his, remember pass along to main screen, the other phone, which i mean so little grand 5. there is a wonderful tradition that the elders still practice here and, and you know, alaska and that's they'll take swell from st. herman's graves, and they'll mix it with some spring water from his, from his spring, just a little bit of a soil into the, into the, into the water when they're feeling, you know, and it's medicine, it's medicine and that's what they take before they take a prescription mad or something like that, even. i mean it's, it's a real pious participant to do the things they've been many, many feelings, many accounts to feelings, not just from the prayers that his grace site,

but also from drinking from the spring when cove. it a change. my mom made this with an inside. this has a soil from same term. it's great and was put it on during that cold time. i never take that off since always with this one. looks like i'm glad i'm so glad that father heard much k. father herman, save us. and i say god is to god that way was best word less of orthodox which was still you know, hold on to think that is the face piece. the one to save this for me, save the thing. thank you. thanks like that sir. my name is save the sauce and when we're coming up, we might into a fog and rain on the water and then we hike up the trail. and when we get here,

the sun comes out, it happens more times than not it's, it's really quite special. and i think it's true, blessing that st herman just bestows upon us for making this journey the . so it's an amazing place. people have been there will say, i've never been any place like it a greek theologian came with me. i took him there years ago and we walked 2 steps down the path and he stopped. and he said the only place i said, i know father, he said no, this is really a whole new place. i have only felt holding this like this, this intensely one other place in my life. so father george were what was that?

he said at the tomb of christ and jose salon. so this is what a visitor is presiding like elanda sand. herman. the listen uh uh is uh louis. the room is moving and then i'll be holding laura as i g. is scruggs to see his own ears. uh they were very um, interested in the local spiritual life. some of the 1st reports we have from the monks is that they were spending the summer listening to the stories,

to find out what people here already believed. so that they could introduce christianity as to fulfillment of what they already knew. and this was a kind of genius and not attacking what the people already knew and believed, but embracing and then building on it. and the 1st reports we have from them in 1795, what they wrote back to russia to report to their superiors, back in vol. um, we can work with these people, they already have the 10 commandments. they don't provide not to steal, not to murder enough to commit these crimes. and they already believe that everyone is descended from the same mother and father, we all come. they don't know the name adam and eve, but they all, but they believe we all come. all human beings come from the same parents. have a start to show you. the grace of the last traditional cheese, like mike alex, he's the one who built the white church friends who lived out here for many years, taking care of the cemetery and the churches and suited his father before him. and

so we have like all it so you'll notice the little house on top of his brain. that's a and as of asking tradition that was present before the russian, missionaries came to alaska. so prior to orthodoxy, they believed that for up to a year after a person died that their sole would remain near their body or their ashes until their body returned to the earth. so for that year, they would put the houses on to kind of keep the spirits away from the village. i have a place for the spirit to go. and then once the spirit pauses on in the body has decayed into the earth and we allow the houses to return back to the earth as well . so there are many that are very decayed and so they're not neglected. they're just returning so in many of them there's items that the person would've liked when they were living. and if you look inside,

you can actually see an icon of the mother of god, as well as a little crochet bag with him crochet hucks. so we know that grandma, whoever's grandma, she was loved to crochet and she loved the church. so this is one of my favorites. and so i think one of the reasons that the russian missionaries were so successful in converting velasco data people to orthodoxy was because they really respected and values. traditions were already in place. and so even though that the spirit houses are not, did not come from orthodoxy, they in alaska or an accepted orthodox practice. from what i've heard from, you know, the stories my husband has told from his, travels in a village and from native elders that i've spoken to is that the russian people were incredibly client. um and embraced the native way. and a lot of to the source of orthodoxy in line with

a lot of native teachings. so one of them is, you know, we don't own our body, we don't own the earth, we give everything back to god. god created our body. and so we don't destroy our body up front desk, we bury it in the hopes of the resurrection to the boys as soon as the group. good . so to be smooth, nipple miller knows that the boys are so if they do so to dismiss new formula. nice . so if the boys are so if you could of case you have to be smooth nimble meal or nose slow. but so it's even worse with the cool new produce, know you will they give a call for, i mean, the, you know, i see, you know, a lot of the young people, they want to go out and make their way. that's fine. you know, but they're always comes of time when you get older in your life, you're going to say, who am i from? i really from what, why you're cutting this along in your find out and hopefully, you know,

the younger people just always listen to that. if there's anything that's thing to you know, understand, that's how you tradition stay alive, tram down in the water and down are changing because if you can bring somebody else in there to this is like it's not a tricia anymore. you're starting something else. the, we just really connection this brush, the quality russia and the church in russia. i feel the way that we're their spiritual daughter. they gave birth to us here. and it's because of who seems loud in here that we have the worth of nice pay. it is because of all the saints,

the monastic these settings to explore in siberia is because of alignment is very high. and my family, of course, that actually i feel that they are our spiritual our fathers, fathers in the face. and we're, we're there children, that's what i, i feel that connection there to rushes, a deep spiritual connection for your family or family. the natural way, not to delete the and we have cousins interest at some place. i don't know where, but i'd like to meet them. some dates be fine.

the the, the society of your credit and cons offensively, you know, it was a fire that arises serious souls. lucian's, on the, on the west and ukrainian slides, illusions about their own strength illusions about the strength of the russian

opponents. basically the, you know, the care to rush or, and you crying was a door that just had to be kicked in and the whole structure would come come sometime in the solutions have been shocked with the in 1941 with the nazis health relation, ultra nationalists, the you astonishes the claim, the independent state of croatia. shortly off, the seizing power. they built the scene of us concentration camp a place associated with the worst atrocities committed in yugoslavia during we'll go to use dash is used to come system to isolate and exterminate subs, roma, jews, and other non catholic minorities and political opponents of the fascist regime conditions in the scene of us come when the gods tortured to arise and the prisoners they send them your constitution camps. so most of

them died. it was incredible genocide. the and his re needs try catch the palestine red crescent headquarters for the 2nd time . this week. we're enjoying it needs 7 people with and sheltering in the building. high right in the wrong means. i have a 100000 that a twice that number wound it has a power of explosion. hit a memorial in all of the general tells any us as strikes for years that the full i us surprised him to open to the prince onto headline and list of shades as on sales documents from an old suit connected to a to 6 truck, a jeffrey epstein for bill show king details of the escapade
