Feel a little pity for those who had to judge the annual Alaska Federation of Natives photo contest. They had a tough job to pick a winner out of more than a hundred images of very cute kids.
Don’t interrupt Halle Grey Andrews-Seton. This six-year-old girl is very busy being her mama’s little helper. Jacklyn Andrews , snapped this photo of her daughter while cutting fish in Emmonak. It won second place in this year’s AFN Subsistence Photo contest.
Austin Redfox, a future elder, peers out at his parents who are busy building a smokehouse for their fish. Redfox is a four-year-old whose family lives in Emmonak on the Lower Yukon River. His mother, Lila, won first place for photo of her son. “We had over a hundred entries,” Stoops said. “They were all phenomenal pictures that captured our convention theme.”
Before Soboleff died at the age of 102, he often encouraged young people to “take care of the older person you are going to become.” He told them their own Native culture could help them do that. Although Yup’ik children are taught to learn through observation, Redfox was surprised that her son, at the age of one, had seen enough and was ready to pitch in.
