A traditional Yup’ik tale of a little girl who goes berry hunting.
A traditional Yup’ik tale of a little girl who goes berry hunting.
Young Anana watches the ladies complain bitterly while picking berries for the Fall Festival. The berries on the tundra were hard and tasteless they moan, and no one is going to like them. So, in order to help, Anana decides to conjure up some magic to help them. Singing “”Atsa-ii-yaa (Berry), Atsa-ii-yaa (Berry), Atsaukina!”” (Be a berry!), she sings under the full moon to try and make the berries fruity and tasty.
