On March 12th, 2010, Oldways and Kwikpak Fisheries LLC teamed up to highlight an important contribution to the Traditional American Table  at an afternoon scientific and culinary seminar followed by a reception and tasting at the Harvard Faculty Club. Participants learned about the remarkably healthy and exquisite-tasting Wild Yukon River salmon, and about the traditional, sustainable fishing methods still used by the Yup’ik tribe in Alaska.

Speakers included Dariush Mozaffarian, M.D. Dr.P.H., Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School; Humphrey and Ellen Keyes and Matilda Oktoyuk, Traditional Fishermen, Yup’ik Tribe, Emmonak, AK; Jack Schultheis, General Manager of Kwik’pak Fisheries and K.Dun Gifford, President, Oldways, Boston, MA.
