History of Our Camp
Along the banks of the Niukluk River in the heart of the Seward Peninsula lies Alaskan NW Adventures Fishing Camp. This is a friendly place far far away from all the hurry-scurry of city life. Remote and untouched beauty surrounds you no matter the season.
Tom has fished the river system since the early 1970's. He started a reindeer herd in the early 1980's put Tom in rural Alaska year around. In the mid 1990's the herd crashed and we decided to put our efforts into fishing and hunting. The lodge began as an Alaskan subsistence camp.
Through the seasons we gather native foods in the Eskimo* tradition. In the summer we pick greens, berries and cut dry fish. In the Fall, there is moose, caribou and bear hunting. We make native foods out of all we catch. We put a couple muskox in the freezer by March. In mid-May, we hunt ducks and geese.
*The term "Eskimo" mostly refers to Iñupiat peoples of Alaska. In Alaska, Eskimo is in common usage according to the Alaska Native Language Center.
