SUMMARY:

Sugpiat people come home to Kodiak Island to learn and build Indigenous knowledge near ancestral petroglyphs. Merging Indigenous knowledge with western science, Dr. Sven Haakanson and other Sugpiat people in Akhiok pass along the ingenuity of traditional knowledge in a living context to young Sugpiat while building a kayak from wood gathered on the treeless beaches of Cape Alitak.
