Unalaska, AK – Camp Qungaayux wrapped up today at Humpy Cove. For a week, youth from the city, the region, and even the lower 48 participated in the culture camp put on by the Qawalangin tribe. Earlier in the week, the campers learned how to catch and prepare fish. Yesterday, they learned how to catch and prepare something a little bit bigger: a seal.

While the campers did not go out on the hunt, they did get to see how the seal was traditionally prepared. A couple dozen children gathered round yesterday afternoon as the seal was being cleaned and dressed. The group was curious, but the reactions were definitely varied.
