We go
berry picking late in the summer and fall time. The
types of berries we pick are blueberries,
blackberries, salmonberries, and sometimes
raspberries. People pick up to 25 to 30 gallons of
berries. We pick berries near the villages, or we
go camp near Newtok. When we get berries we could
make akutaq (Eskimo ice cream) or eat them plain.
We also freeze them for the winter. Salmonberries
