It’s a bit larger than your stocking, so we’ll describe it as stocking-adjacent. The Winter Watchman’s Daughter: Memoirs of Life on the Nushagak  is an engaging book written by Mary L. Dinon. In it, Mary shares the story of her grandmother, Ella Nielsen, who grew up along the Nushagak river as the daughter of a cannery winter watchman and also as a wife of the cannery watchman at three Nushagak historic salmon canneries. She has historical photographs of Dillingham and the surrounding area that were taken by her father, Lars Degn Nelson. This is a story about salmon canneries, commercial fishing, and our ancestors who survived to bear us.

Northern Shimmer Gift Shop, owned by Alaska Native Ginger Williams, creates handmade jewelry and accessories using porcupine quills, beads, fur, and other materials. This holiday season, a wonderful stocking stuffer could be one of their incredibly unique necklaces from the “shades of blue” collection.
