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.

Empowering Communities with Traditional Foods
In this episode, we mug up with Deenaalee Chase Hodgdon and Ruth Łchav’aya K’isen Miller, Co-Directors of the Smokehouse Collective. They share their mission to strengthen Indigenous food systems, the challenges of climate change, and how their work empowers communities to reclaim traditional food practices.
“We want to be sure that whatever comes, our languages, our dances, our life ways, our knowledge of the fish is what lasts. Because that’s the exact knowledge that we will need to ensure that our descendants have access to the abundance that we’ve had.”
