Students in 9th grade biology at Chugiak High School just north of Anchorage "dissect" something a little bigger than a frog. As part of their biology class and Alaska Studies class they skin and cut up a moose. The meat goes to those in the community in need as well as a package sent home with each one of the students.


From the Anchorage School District on the project:

On Monday, December 4th, our students from Chugiak High School started their day with a message from Evon Peters.



Evon is an Alaska Native leader originally from Arctic Village who shared his experiences and cultural traditions of honoring an animal’s life and sacrifice. Our students learned the importance of showing respect for such a life and the energy it will provide for those it feeds.



After the conversation, the students then proceeded to field dress a bull moose that was harvested by Biology teacher Brian Mason via an educational harvest permit from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.



This incredible and uniquely Alaskan hands-on experience was organized by Chugiak High School’s Alaska Strong Coordinator, Ralph Elook, and Indigenous Education Student Support Specialist, Crystal Wendell.

For some of those kids, it appears this wasn't their first rodeo.

I wonder if there is a follow-up video where a home economics class demonstrates several ways to cook and serve moose.
 
It would do most high school kids good to have this experience --respect of life etc. Good on them.
 
My sons both went to high school in Alaska. They had both cleaned and butchered big game before they ever got to high school. Life is different in Alaska, in a very good way.
 
My wife graduated from Palmer Alaska. There was a substitute teacher (oddly enough it was Sara Palin’s dad) who would bring in moose and other wildlife to dissect. She has talked fondly of that often.

Sat through many hockey games in Palmer and Wasilla. Our younger son played against Track Palin and Levi Johnson. Sarah was totally clued out. Always asking why Track was in the penalty box again. One parent finally told her that it was because her son is a psychopath!

I wonder how often they utilize https://edubirdie.com/biology-help or if they solve their tasks independently...

I agree that such practices help students appreciate the importance of respect for nature and living beings, and also contribute to shaping ethical views on meat consumption and environmental stewardship. Lessons on balanced utilization of natural resources and ecological sustainability are crucial aspects for the future of our children. I hope that our descendants can see and have everything that we have now. I want to thank you for spreading awareness about this. Because I'm seeing such initiatives for the first time, and I approve.

Darn....I would of spent more time going to classes if was going to be like that, instead of learning that men can give birth too! Seams that Alaska has their shit together a little.

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe

Hi Walden. Good morning from England, Chris here (The Englishman!) from Croatia. Firstly it was a pleasure to meet you and Michelle - a fellow Sanderson! I have finally joined AH as I enjoy it very much. Glad you enjoyed the hunt and your write up which I read on AR was very good indeed. I am sending on WhatsApp pics from Bojan of some of the animals hunted recently. Take care and best regards. CS.
