I chose to include a family from "Life Below Zero," an Alaska-based television show that is familiar to me. The Hailstone family has 6 daughters whom they teach subsistence living off of the wilderness, as well as survival techniques. Gender roles present in American society are abandoned in Eskimo culture, as women are often alongside their husbands during hunting season. I was fascinated by their way of life, so I embedded videos about how their family traditions are being passed down to each daughter. Their determination and bravery against the weather and native animals gives audiences a glimpse of how tough young women can be in different areas of the world, therefore, I included the article in the "Grrrl Power" blog.
