These are what I started off with before the Arctic Ground Squirrels arrived from a young man from my mother’s childhood home, Kwethluk. What a blessing to have such a young man with family to continue the tradition of hunting and trapping ground squirrels – nothing is wasted from all the catches. Quyana tailuci!
