Pam Stanczewski wasn t the least bit surprised by the dead moose on the front porch.
Several years ago, she and her husband had traveled from Ohio to visit her hometown in Canada. When they arrived at her grandmother s house, the massive moose was lying, frozen, on the porch. Her husband was stunned; she herself took it in stride. Her grandmother was many things including a skilled hunter who would use the animal for everything from stew to moosehide mukluks. Similar to Alaska is how Stanczewski describes where she grew up Hay River, a town of roughly 3,500 in the Northwest Territories, on the edge of Great Slave Lake which is at least partly frozen for eight months of the year.
