Elder Voices: Guy Martin

Nome's Guy Martin

In an Elder Voices interview from 2013, celebrate the life of Guy Martin as he shares his story and relates his thoughts on the importance of continuing traditions into the future:

“It’s tradition to practice subsistence and to practice it in a way that has been practiced by our ancestors, and then more recently by our elders. It’s part of our make-up. You take away tradition, or you break tradition, you’re interfering with the other principles in our culture, and in our subsistence, and also our spirituality.”

Elder Voices: a window to the past, a door to the future.
