Can we donate meat from our harvest when we arrive back in Kotzebue?
If we are to do this, are we required to donate a whole animal or can we keep part of it, like the tenderlions and a rear quarter?We don’t require that you donate the entire animal, but we do require that you donate a “whole half” and you take the other half if you are wanting to keep some of the meat. We do this because the people we donate to are local natives, we want to ensure they get a good selection of meat - it keeps them happy and willing to take the donations.
So, for example, we say you take a half and we’ll get someone lined up for the other half - or - donate the entire caribou. That way everyone gets the prime cuts and the other parts that may end up as ground meat.
