MOLLY PEDERSON

“My daughter Laura’s husband is the whaling captain of the Patkotak Crew. So, I have been a part of the whaling crew since they got married. I usually make the bread, and fruits and soup for the crew while they are harvesting the whale and for Nalukataq. I taught my oldest granddaughter how to make the bread and now she does it by herself.” — Molly Pederson is Inupiaq and lives in Utqiagvik, Alaska.
