Yukon Kings follows Ray Waska as he teaches his grandchildren how to fish during the summer salmon run in the
Alaskan Yukon Delta. With environmental and cultural forces threatening their subsistence way of life, this Yup’ik fisherman holds onto the hope that his family will one day pass on the traditional knowledge to future generations.
The Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the web and selected by National Geographic editors. We look for work that affirms National Geographic's mission of inspiring people to care about the planet. The filmmakers created the content presented, and the opinions expressed are their own, not those of the National Geographic Society.
