Elders from around the Aleutians gathered at the Grand Aleutian Hotel earlier this month for a summit on healthcare and aging. Most of their time was spent in workshops, but they carved out space for a potluck dinner of traditional foods at Unalaska's senior center.

That night, a few elders shared stories of their first subsistence hunts. KUCB's Lauren Rosenthal was there, and has this audio postcard of Larry Dirks of Atka, Vincent Tutiakoff of Unalaska, and Arnold Dushkin of Nikolski discussing the subsistence way of life.
