Follow Yup'ik fisherman Ray Waska as he teaches his grandkids how to fish during the summer salmon run along the Alaskan Yukon Delta. The Yup'ik are one of 11 distinct cultures of Native Alaskans. Traditional communities, such as the Yup'ik, face a variety of changes and their cultural traditions and wisdom passed on from elders help them sustain their way of life.
