You know the one. That friend that gets up early by choice to catch the first catch. Or, catch nothing at all. Either way, they’re happier with a rod in their hand. They have everything they need to actually fish, so here’s some great gifts from Alaska Natives – who know a thing or two about fishing. 

Some swag, like a sticker, with a design by Alaska Native artist Sarah Schoeder with the fishing m otto “eat, sleep, fish, repeat” would do the trick. 

You could also get them a sweatshirt straight from the Bering Sea designed by a local fisherwoman Maxine Christensen from Bering Sea vibes. 

Or, you can get them a great cap to keep them covered for those hours in the sun waiting for a bite. Apay’uq Moore is an Alaska Native artist who creates incredible pieces, as well as wearables like this hat celebrating the sockeye salmon that Bristol Bay is famous for.

There’s always a unique gift for the fishing obsessed in the shareholder directory, where you can find something special exclusively from Alaska Native-owned businesses.
