From the transcript

Then we'd go up and we'd redfish for noodlewai and whitefish, and then in the winter we were fishing for trout all winter long with gobs of eggs from the salmon we'd caught that summer. Subsistence is such an important part of life. It's not just about the protein, it's about culture, it's about community, it's about the lessons you teach the young people, it's part of our spirituality, it's our connection to our lands, waters, fish, and game. So I will be a huge protector of the subsistence lifestyle. I believe, truly believe, we need to maintain a rural subsistence priority.
