Amelia Evans-Brow (Yup’ik & Passamaquoddy) a Technical Assistance Specialist at IAC, known colloquially as the Chicken Ribbon Skirt lady, talks about her love for her feathered friends and how IAC is trying to encourage more Native producers to take the leap into poultry production. Also on the podcast is Cary Fremin (Native Village of Dot Lake) a former Technical Assistance Specialist for IAC and a council member for her village talks about the challenges of raising chickens in the wilds of Alaska.
