Baby Girl beaver hat!

I made this hat for my niece Mahri but, it is way too small! It is a small baby girl hat! I used the material I got from my Auntie Anna Pratt! I wish I knew who to give this to as a Christmas gift!

 Trying to open it!

 Hmm,what could it be?

 (Gasp) Herring eggs! Their favorite!

The whole family was so happy for herring eggs!

Buchtering the small seal

 When we moved here I thought the only way I would be able to get seal meat/oil was by having it sent to me by cargo! Now here I am in Southeast Alaska butchering my own seal! How blessed to be living so far away from home and providing a subsistence way of life for my family!

 Small seal.

 Cut the whole seal and we have seal oil rendering,meat dry and happy bellies!

 Thanks to watching my mom Marcia Pete and Gramma Maria Pete,they taught me well!

We have seal!

Drying seal meat in a dehydrator

 Seal fat for oil!

 Going to make seal jerky!

 Montreal steak seasoning is the best!

Mmm,dried seal meat!

Butchering/BBQ Seal meat

 Thanks to Winsten to the right he caught a seal and had me butcher it and take as much as I wanted! I took the seal fat to make seal oil,ribs and meat to dehydrate!

 Cute Liana (teacher's daughter) eating some seal meat she roasted over a fire!

 Got Seal?

 Me butchering the seal!

Little Clara eating sal meat! I was pretty impressed they enjoyed it! TOO CUTE!
