very personalized high end foods and everything a fishing trip at a premier lodge in this area today that nine thousand dollars for a week might have been you know of three or four thousand dollars in the mid eighty's they want the big money people and they get it what's the relationship between lodges and the local community you know i think historically there was a lot of animosity between locals and that are struggling to make ends meet and then these high and rich lodge owners that come in for four months make a bunch of money. but it's gotten a lot better over the years to try to hire more locals and involve the community more and i've seen it what is the argument that lodge owner will give for not hiring locals because it seems like that would be cheaper than flying entire stuff than to stop the bloodshed every season i don't know if i'm if that no it

absolutely makes nothing that sons i mean they could they can go catch fish for themselves and hunt never thing but it's a whole different thing being a guide for paying gus local natives they were raised to survive to be a sport fishing somebody that you brought in you know what they're doing every minute of the day they're not out drinking or getting in trouble the local person that works here might crashes and break his ankle and can't come to work tomorrow somebody is thing at the lodge isn't going to do that. so since abuse is quite foreign to me having grown up in qatar where drinking is not part of the culture. but it is a familiar story having gone back to alaska year after year and has definitely

affected my family here. i think it's one of those things that can be quite baffling if you don't look at the bigger picture. when there's no job to look forward to is you know. we haven't really heard so much about that drugs but we've heard you know they're here everybody that i know that's working they have a reason to get up and they and all it's making them feel better and they're doing something and not just staying home watching t.v. or you know not doing anything that's also the scary thing is having no law enforcement is here yes what do you do if you need it to i mean well we have would call we have an eight hundred number and he does respond he comes in from my sala so many hours away and that's like the next flight the next morning. but we had to respond to a couple homes and we don't go by ourselves. of

work for the social service department. that's called the indian child welfare act . some helping our tribal enroll members that are. having trouble with substance abuse something you don't have a cheaper or so they call us for everything that happens like of somebody who's junk and i'm driving they call us a somebody who's. feiten they call us i mean it doesn't happen that often but when it does you know where they call us first. and majority of the time it's just my sister and i that runoff to the horses what is it like working on

this issue which can be a sensitive and sort of a small community it's very hard time related to everybody here it's like one of the worst jobs in the village because they blame you first because you're the first one to respond. doesn't necessarily need to be at numbers but how. widespread is. the issue in terms of substance abuse in this community. for alcohol abuse that's pretty i like when i was younger i every time i came back oh you know it's time to have a shot a shot i've been sober for about six years now and that's a whole different world for me. just that people are sent out of their communities for treatment like that must also be difficult right like i said this is a very small community that's come a makes them feel ashamed of themselves that

there so the headlines keep it here let's go now to al-jazeera correspondent. so very going to end then which is liam and helen and dalton i like to call it was started by a few of the residents here and now powers three villages around. it also provide some of the only steady jobs in the area and in the winter in alaska it can be so cold that not having heating can be really dangerous having some form of electricity is really important and so sad he couldn't make it up that's when quite a few years just been up here yeah that's the thing just work keeps getting in the way that darn work i call you up making a living hell it really sucks. tell you get the paycheck a lot of people look at a hydroelectric plant and think all that's super cool you're getting free

electricity going over the falls how nice they don't see how hard of work it is sometimes to keep it going you know. they don't see the two o'clock in the morning when the turban shuts down earth one goes down they both go down and to keep from burning diesel fuel we saddle up and head up there and figure it out. how much diesel does this plant save every year. if we were on full diesel power we'd be burning about a quarter of a million gallons a year so from two hundred fifty thousand to three thousand to four thousand gallons yeah in a year. amazing how many people those like to call up employ one two three four or a little. small but mighty. so this is the intake. all the water comes through here how big is the tube i want to say it's like four feet

people came up here biologists to make sure that wasn't harming any of the bottom life the fish of course i think there should be a lot more news in the world because we have a lot of water and instead of using whatever nuclear power and diesel and coal and all that stuff which is you know very polluting as you know it would be nice to use stuff like this. i'm pretty proud. i like my job like that it's hydro it's our earth friendly. most natives we take care of the earth take care where we're from take care of the fish in the water. being able to do that and help my people. i'm very proud to be able to work here. there's a lot of people here that were born and raised here and don't want to leave you know i've lived in hawaii i lived in the states i've lived in anchorage. why would you want to live anywhere else.

there are parts about native culture that i don't really know about yet but i also don't think that's an uncommon thing and i'm trying to learn more every summer and here's my sewing room this is my happy place in the winter time my mom didn't have a hand sewing this is what she used to do. is this what is the calfskin this is the part that would be the hardest because she used to use are some nail and her teeth. how do you harden the other like this is so you don't

can them so much that they get soft. they're pretty who are discussed bugs most women around here i feel like it's not just like a big thing or done a nothing or it's yeah i think all of the people pretty much everyone in alaska wears and so i've always wanted to coast parker doesn't know if. all. everyone that want to cost book even half the herbs your mom's from here you can wear to and if you have a sweater like a loose writer you could bring it to me and i can make one really yeah. or the pic or some fabric ok. where to go up i was actually born and raised

a question river my mom used to save southwest eggs for fishing because our ice in the winter when i. did dog started barking we had it my dad had a dog. it was like to clock in the morning no i was so scared my teeth dirty chattering me mom she just has to bear down the beach was eating my mom's arm so today igs my dad god is ready for and he killed her bear and then when i was twelve we moved over here. the cuffs will be kind of loose it might tap. here it. chipped in pretty pink they're. so beautiful. thank you. erica. and so slated here

and i should have to stand before you leave. the front not only looking out. my gramma grew up with her native language until she was about six but then she lost it and there aren't many native speakers left here the village is now fighting to get back its language and dance but there's still a lot of pain i think when it comes to what was lost. when you hear someone speaking a language that's dying it just feels so beautiful because it's so rare.

true she names even. make you name i asked. and you just speak you pick. you still speak you pick yes you do you speak at work. my grandkids see i born with it and i never forget my language. and when i went to school i did no one in the assured. they knew she need to worry and then what happened was. every time you may need you in my native language they teach you you say stand me right by her

just to speak my own language. it was not to be for language is only english here we did leave a note in your good news. i get tired of standing beside a teacher in a corner one day just saying and i'm not going to try to ever you may need me for language again and i never did i even i could standing by teaching more. and some kids take it by a yardstick just to you sure are native language yes you're laughing but it seems. barfing but it seems quite sad. i never see

your kind need be spanked i didn't see that when i was growing up father through he said it to us. devils who are cool and no no good for church russian orthodox before they started. when would they do it or when they got or. you know like like car no no just like that if you don't know walk tape. were no watch tape last time over here we've done thieves doing.
