The Alaskan Native Medical Center is the largest tribal-run health organization in the country. People from all over Alaska travel to the hospital in Anchorage for therapies, operations and other care that is limited or nonexistent in much of the state. The Traditional Native Foods Initiative brings donated Alaska Native foods such as moose, herring roe and seal to the hospital for patients. Such traditional foods offer not just nourishment but also many layers of cultural connection.
