- In this segment of Shades of Green, discover how the people who live among the Tongass NF in southeastern Alaska live with and off of the land, the natural resources and each other in this compelling video.
I think it's a wonderful thing to see native fish swimming in a beautiful natural stream , , it's getting to be more & more a rare sight here in Western North Carolina.
Great video i am happy to see people working with each other in harmony. Thank you for sharing
Got hungry just looking at all those fish - I admire these folks and their way of life.
Thanks for a great video.Two of my friends moved to Ketchikan from the Bahamas.They love it.
So rich you are to live in a place of such abundance in good wild food. Sockeye salmon is the best eating of all the salmon. You have good garden growing conditions in the summer.
Great video. Thank you for the insight into Alaskan native culture.
I think this video is lovely. Thank you
Why?
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing.
Yep, Alaska is certainly a beautiful place.
This should be called, a lesson on Subsistence.
this is one of the coolest comments i have ever seen on this site, it would be a honor to get to know you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its not that we went running out before, but rather that we are more aware now then we were in previous years.
thanks for sharing, this is a great video
thank you for sharing this
that is natural esp in rural area's modern city youth have lost this and they have lost way more :-/
No ones fighting a war to lower oil prices... That's ridiculous!
unless you have tons of resources such as raw metals, and a factory built, and a lab, and a very powerful renewable energy plant, then we need the government for healthcare. using medicinal herbs etc and living with minimal stress of course improves our health, without a doubt, but we still need healthcare.
If that's something you aspire to then I say go for it....I'm 42 now and wish I would have or could have done that. Work is for suckers.
Very small except various disturbing the peace type stuff due to alcohol, drinking is rampant in very isolated villages, especially far north ones where its near dark all day in Winter. Just North of Anchorage in Matanuska valley is nice, good farming land. Just South of Anchorage on peninsula is also nice.
that's right. i used to work for the place that won weekly times farmer of the year this year, boomaroo nurseries. the bosses said it was like this. the big supermarkets needed the size to be exact. like a cos lettuce would need to be between Xcm and Ycm long. they would throw out the small stuff but also the big stuff. then only 30% would get sent to the supermarket. then apparently half of that get thrown in the dumpster coz it goes rotten on the shelf. so only 15% grown leaves the supermrkt
Where do these "living off the land" people get their jeans and their rubber gloves and their jackets and spices and knives and plastic tables and fishing netting and motor boats and rubber boots and plastic crates and backpacks and cars and USA stickers and gas and cardboard and eye glasses, etc, etc.. Just eating food that you dont buy at the grocery store is not striking me as "living off the land".
Sherry Lee I find your use of the term "whitie" OFFENSIVE. What color is your skin? And should we put you down for something your people did before you were born?
If I called you BLACKIE, or REDSKIN, or whatever, I don't think your kind is capable of accepting that term either. By "your kind" my meaning is IGNORANT ASSHOLE.
Sherry Lee I am 100% swamp/cree and I don't call white/yelloe/brown skin people or immigrants names.I teach my kids the same. Its people like you that give my people aboriginals/natives a bad name across the land. Keep your mouth shut,we have a hard enough time as it is... Grow up.
Joshua Murphy you sir are a moron
excellent video series.
if you mean no institutionalised healthcare in its current state, i understand. but.. when i was in a commune there was a guy who didn't want anything artificial, outright refused, 'no healthcare' he chanted. when walking barefoot he cut himself, got a nasty infection, used natural medicine. as it got worse he got angry on suggestions of getting treated. ended up with a hole Through his foot. passed out, ambulance, pumped full of antibiotics, almost needed amputation so was lucky to keep his leg
Government helps prevent overuse through ecological natural resource management and regulating commercial pressures.
this video made me hungry, now I crave Salmon
good vid thanks for sharing
@nitroexpress700 I think living off the land is more gratifying With the population of these times, I am glad we have some kind of management and a since of duty to the earth, to know when enough is enough and not to be greedy. Enjoy Life day by day. PEACE
A more accurate title would be as the natives say "Living on the land" or "Living with the land".
Most people dont want it until they're the ones that need it
Good video ,watch it for your self, then judge !!!!
you cant just go up there and do this. its something you are born into. plain and simple.
I plan on living off the land soon. I mean i will stay and get an education first but after that i am gone. I just don't want to waste half my life working. In my opinion life goes way to fast when you are using electronics(Facebook, gaming or watching TV, ect). And i want to live a happy slow life. But i am just a kid(well 16) so my life ambitions change regularly :/
my god...couldnt they find someone with more character.....this griffin fellow such a dork
@kingzachattack115 You don't plan to be a sniper, much less a Marine sniper.
You get picked to become a sniper.
You can plan to join the Marines, become a gunsmith and move to Alaska.
The sniper part, you won't have much say about. Your skills as a marksman is what will get you selected for training as one.
Fantastic...im no stalker i swear LOLOLOL just like to meet folks who have that "thing" about them! Great freaking comment, again i think i will enjoy you're company!
nice place👍
We forget how much we don't need. The more you're forced to buy the more you're forced to earn. That's the set up manufactured trap of the elite establishment. Everything's deemed too dangerous and outlawed as a result. Reject it. Reject the very notion of being told and of telling others what to do. Remember that every time you're tempted to vote for a law that does anything but allow others to choose for themselves, their property including animals, and their own children.
Good idea
peace...spiritpipeman
@nitroexpress700 how does the land give you a computer and internet access?
Oliver Ehmann, American Indians enter the military at a higher rate than any other group.
because of the govt we have increased wolf populations, buffalo, and countless other species.. and because of human's many animals such as polar bears are now going extinct.. that is just a small slice of the things the federal govt has achieved... no one likes the idea of federal control, but to pretend like the world would be better withought any over sight.. that is the most stupid thing i have ever heard
@assman255 curious as to exactly what you meant by "free ride"? Watch the movie "Unrepentant" by Kevin Annet and "Older Than America"
To those saying you are living off the land...how is it you have an internet connection?
50 shades of green
It's to mark them so they don't count them twice.
exactly. thats they way agriculture works in Australia. they are so full of crap here they are trying to shut down ones that DO make money on their own two feet.
Aye I notice this vid was posted around the time of the "Fukushima Mega disaster" in Japan ~ You can bet things are not so healthy there in Alaska anymore ...especially the salmon ~ I would keep my Geiger counter close just sayin~!.
Spatan
Lloyd Andrew Houston they are keeping track of the radiation, it hasn't made it any further north beyond Vancouver island as far as I know
Can folk still go to Alaska and live off the land.It has been my dream to move away from civilian life and live in the mountains. but not sure if we can still do that.
people regulate it. the government takes credit.
*cough* and uses our national land as collateral to china *cough*
kinda messed up right?
cool
yes it does work like that but the problem is Australia is being flooded with super cheap and substandard food from Asia that farmers are just mowing there crops back into the ground cause the manufactures buy cheap imports instead of local produce. They dont care that its full of pesticides and chemicals that are illegil to use here in Australia and the Government only test less than 5% of produce coming in from Asia So therefore farmers go broke and overseas companies buy the farm for the land
The problem is...finding a place to live off the land where officials don't hassel you. Cops,Rangers, ect. Not many plases in the U.S. where you cand just go build a cabin in the woods without somebody wanting permits and of course...taxes.
Well being an Indian does help... take it from me, I'm one of them
More people in Alaska rely on wildlife for food than any other state, and we still have far more than all other states. If any thing Commercial fishing needs to be regulated more, not "sport" or subsistence fishing. People who do not live here will never understand, period. How ever because the state and federal government collects tax money off commercial fishing its those of us who rely on this food source and others that get screwed first. Governments gotta get their money no matter what. >:(
If your business does not make money without government assistance, it should shut down to make room for one that will.
You actually think the government does a better job managing the wildlife. Good joke.
EXACTLY__!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because someone needs to manage the land. Stop acting like everything the government does is the absolute evil. If you want a total absence of government then move to Somalia. That would be your holy grail of living. Plenty of guns, no oversight, etc. Governments screw some things up, there's no doubt, but in this video I see an innocuous biologist recording data, and a forest ranger narrating some shit... relax... Take away government and see how fast the Pebble mine in SE alaska gets built...
hey at least they are spending money on something that is actually worth watching for once.
its called home steading or prepping
Regulations traditionally have always hurt the common folk.
how do you have a computer?
Get the best solar cells at the best price possible.make your own solar panel which can be done under $200.I have done this myself with the help of following site.Never go for commercial panel you can make your own.Catch the method here. ABOUTSOLARCELLS.COMXA.COM
@assman255 Watch those movies I mentioned above......the 2 reservations you've been to MUST have been in another World! You don't pay a dime to their survival & living! All your so-called taxes go straight to England buddy, Not to reservations! After what the British colonists have done to the indigenous folks that were on this land long before they ever came here....the indigenous folks should be living like Kings & Queens! Ah, that's right they are...you wouldn't comprehend
Hunting and gathering will never be as productive as farming, that's for sure...all you can do is service the tourists and act as guides...that will bring in sorely needed dollars to stay out of harms way. Arts and crafts will bring in more dollars, but are labor intensive. Farming is the only way to really keep the wolf from the door.

Ironically, here in California, trying to live off the land would net you massive amounts of harassment and legal action against you, up to and including jail by the Forestry Service and BLM.
No guns and now that new loud exhaust law. California in general bad
Shouldnt make you sad, this should make you mad, this should outrage you to the point of action. But it doesnt and it never will, human nature is you will only truly care when the government is screwing you over personally. THEN its time to do something.
great watch thanks. Alaska folk aren't exactly under fed are they, didn't see a thin one among them
I guess you're assuming that the regulators surely aren't like those people you describe?
👍👌👍👍
nice way of fishing lol
The herd behavior and crisis denial of many is what typically is ridiculous. Wars are fought for many reasons, least of all are they fought for short term financial profits.
The only people I can think of who fight over keeping prices high. are the street drug punters.
God put the fish on the earth to give us food to eat.
How do you know
Please watch /watch?v=XMxgYY_q-AI
It's a video called 'Free Market Environmentalism' by 'Walter Block'. It's an educational interview where he explains how government incentivises environmental damage through its policies. Greedy people would not strip clear their own forest land, because then it would not yield the next year; as it stands they lease it from govt... If a pristine lake can make more money as a holiday resort/adventure park, then they will not dump toxic chemicals into it, etc..
better like fish a
no one even commented on his name?
Why do they need government and permits there? I can't believe that... It's sad...
Imagine if people were picked out and fished like these fish
+Castiel Guerra Aliens
Thousands of generations of people struggling every day to survive long enough to produce and protect offspring long enough to produce a new generation.
You are the end result. What a waste.
9:30 im not joe fillet man, but that looks like alot of wasting to me
That's what the government does
could i be adopted into your tribe? please.
and yet you have electricity to power a laptop along with an internet connection.
PETER GRIFFIN!!! Oh, no, it said Pete. Pete Griffin. ::sigh::
it is all the commercial fish going on, it is sad the Native people should get their fill first, the country belongs to us all not the government. It was given to us in the treaty of 1783 from the king the right of equal use we should not have to have permission to fish and hunt to just live the why God intended.
If you or a loved one has ever been sick you would change your tune. More of us want healthcare than the myopic cretins that dont.
its the real Peter Griffin....family guy
11:11
Anonymous was here.
Pete Griffin
just think soon they will be made to plant gmo plants for there safety
......they're afraid of us....
HAHAHA, well, they learned it from the best!
I think you overly respect the TH-cam community if you think it's a good idea to encourage people here to eat berries they find in the wood. Otoh, we coudl use a culling via natural selection, sooo....
No land is for the people,if the gov want it back they send the murderer with badges to get it.
federal park lands*
because people can't regulate themselves. . . so a nanny state is necessary huh.
WITH GOVERNMENT FUNDING THATS WHAT HAPPENS
federal park lands
Peter Griffin!
