MOSAIC


Old Crow’s soul
Photography by Ryan Carter with text by Larry Frolick

No roads lead into or out of Old Crow, a riverside hamlet of wood houses and the Yukon’s most northern community. Three hundred people live here, but you see only a few at a time. The rest are out hunting stragglers from the Porcupine caribou herd or fishing salmon, trapping marten, curing meat or chopping firewood.

“I got sled dogs to feed,” says Kenny Tetlichi, a Gwich’in entrepreneur who runs a guest house when he’s not hunting or fishing. “You got to enjoy running dogs to do all this.” He’s chopping 100 kilograms of fresh salmon, which will last his team for three weeks.
