-#TEN-PLUS-SEVEN- Unalaska Police Blotter

Jekyll wrote: In case you're confused Homie, I was giving you that link to use for yourself in these types of situations. In the future as it were, when people question the history of the Northernmost American Natives. Talked to Pa the other day about it, his opinion on where booze came from for the Northern peoples and he seemed to think it was Russian whalers bringing casks of rum early on (at least for the western side of the northern parts of the continent). I asked him if he thought they (natives) brewed their own alcohol to begin with, and he seemed to think they fermented salmon roe, but it was more of a ritualistic thing, not something to make craploads of to get drunk on. Anyway, thought I'd add a bit to my above post.

Hi Jek....THANKS for the link......I FIRMLY believe sourcing posted information is imperative in
making statement like delray's......when sourcing is NOT "laid down", I generally believe they re
"blowing smoke".....THIS specific subject is a "sore point" with me.

The bolded is a critical point that is often overlooked (omitted) and the spiritual aspect of the
culture seems to be by-passed (by some).......

No worries friend, it took me about six seconds. Then I wanted to read through and see how complete the entry was. The subject is sore for me as well. The natives up there have become dependent and envious of the outside world almost completely and it took barely a hundred years. Sad.

A little more variety this time. This first one makes me frown. Sooo, one point of view is all that is acceptable? I'm so surprised (not).
