AANG..(Hello) My name is Ariadne Schablein, I am Aleut. My birth family comes from St. Paul Island. I was adopted (a tribal adoption) as a toddler and raised by my mother Carol in Anchorage. She is also Aleut, born and raised in Seward, Alaska.

My history with marine mammals and subsistence is that I grew up and attended Nuuciq Spirit Camp held on Nuchek Island. There they taught us seal hunting, harvesting and how to skin a seal. This was back in the '90s when the camp first started. Since then I’ve attended some gatherings and summer camps in Anchorage, Alaska. There they have shown sealskin, how to use seal intestines, and how to skin an octopus. My daughter attended an Alutiiq APIA camp where she learned how to enjoy seal meat, octopus, seagulls, puffins, and whale blubber.

I've been learning how to tan fish skin and make jewelry with it. With global warming Alaskans have noticed a fluctuation in the marine mammals cycles and some summers we have really low salmon runs which means lower seal pup population and less food for whales to come back to their summer feeding grounds. It plays a whole circle of life for subsistence hunting and gathering on land game and ocean mammals. I currently live in Seward, AK and am a tribal member a Qutekcak Native Tribe, I am a board member for the Tribe an alternate for the Chugachmuit board, and I’m on the board at CRRC.
