Art and Ice Cream, What Can Be Better?

This Inupiaq Phrase Means: I Am From White Mountain, Of The Fish River Tribe

Emily and I learned this phrase in the Inupiaq classes we observed today. Also, the painted picture is done by a very famous artist, one well known throughout the world. Her name you ask? Emily Samargo. You may also wonder who posed for such a picture. Her name would be Ashley Hutton. This is an example of what Emily is having some of the high school kids do. In closing, I must add one very important note. I finally got the chance to eat Eskimo ice cream tonight! I have read about this dish for years and have always wanted to try it. Joanna, Jack's wife, made both blueberry and salmonberry ice cream and I tried both. For those of you not in the know, Eskimo ice cream is a whipped mixture of Crisco (at least Joanna made hers with that, not seal oil), white fish, sugar, and berries. Can't say that it's a dish that I would include at every meal, but I was so very excited to finally try it. Thank you Joanna!
