What is Alaskan Ice Cream?

Season 1 Episode 1 | 5m 11s

Foraging is one way Indigenous Community Liaison Anna Sattler holds on to her Yup'ik traditions. She takes Pati Jinich foraging for berries outside of Anchorage. As they gather berries Anna shares insights on what it’s like to be native in Alaska, why traditional practices still matter, and how she is working to keep her culture thriving. They use their bounty to make Akutaq or Alaskan Ice Cream.

Support for PATI JINICH EXPLORES PANAMERICANA is provided by Marriott International, La Costeña, Texas A&M International University, Visit Anchorage, Travel Juneau, Travel Yukon, and Chicanos Por La Causa.
