From the transcript
And so a few words about the perspective I will develop in this lecture. Traditional foods and foodways broadly correspond to what is called subsistence food or subsistence practices. In federal and state regulations. Native people in Alaska consider that hunting, fishing, and gathering are central to who they are. They also generally consider that the notion of subsistence is inappropriate to qualify these practices.
