MUG UP WITH BBNC
A podcast about Bristol Bay communities, cultures, and the stories that connect us
“Mug Up” is special in Bristol Bay, and a tradition in fishing communities. It’s a break for a warm drink and a short visit.
Hosted by Bristol Bay Native Corporation’s Communications team, this virtual “Mug Up” brings the community together to talk about our connections, cultures, and the stories that connect us.
We’re inspired to enrich and celebrate our Native way of life—today and for generations to come. This podcast offers another way to share our values and stories with our community and beyond.

Knowing Who You Are with Elders Mark Hiratsuka Jr. and Virgie Lockett
Join us for a conversation with Elders Mark Hiratsuka Jr. and Virgie Lockett on growing up in Ekuk, navigating change, and finding identity through family, culture, and community.
“One of the things I have learned in my life was that, in order for me to look at both of you and the people in this room to share my story, I had better make sure that I turned my back to them because I look back I can see my my parents, my grandmother, my great grandparents, and the people before them. I knew where I came from. I knew that’s who I was.”
—Elder Mark Hiratsuka Jr.
