It is that time here in Alaska. People along the road system, river beds, tundra, mountains and cities are preparing and heading out for the fall big game hunt. Excitement stirs in the air as whisperings of moose and caribou float on the wind. Hopes for filled freezers weigh heavy on the mind. In this episode community leader, scholar, and activist Eva Dawn Burk and I discuss the right to hunt for moose, being asked to show up as a leader for ones community, and the politics of the Alaska Board of Game.
