Alaska typhoon victims’ losses of traditional foods go beyond dollar values

In the aftermath of Typhoon Halong, Alaska's rural Indigenous communities face unique challenges in disaster relief. With traditional subsistence lifestyles at risk, organizations like the Alaska Native Heritage Center and the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium step in to provide traditional foods and meals. Meanwhile, financial support from agencies like the Small Business Administration is adjusted to fit local needs, but complex traditional assets remain a challenge. As climate change adds pressure, the hope is for future aid to protect not just homes and jobs, but also the traditions and foods that define these communities. DNN | The Daily News Now!
