Cultural Values of Native Foods
The Alaska Native Knowledge Network website has a section on Alaska Native Values for Athabascan, Cup'ik, Iñupiaq, Yup'ik, Tlingit, and Alutiiq people. It may help students to understand the importance of Native foods to their culture if they think about the activities that best fit their cultural values. Examples of activities involving Native foods are:
 | Hunting, fishing, and gathering with relatives |
| Giving away your first harvest |
| Sharing harvests with elders |
| Processing food and making art and handicrafts with relatives |
| Sharing knowledge about your environment in your Native language |
