yup'ik power: atlatl

i read an interesting article in alaska magazine this summer. it was about the use of the atlatl today in southwest alaska. the nates on the lower yukon still use the weapon to bring seal home. that is so fuckin' cool. it makes me proud to know that our people are still using it in a traditional manner. i mean, that particular method for taking game is thousands of years old, and its still being used today in places like kotlik, emmonak, and alakanuk!
