Modern Day Aleut Fishing

These days when Aleuts fish or hunt they use weapons and nets. When they go fishing they go on boats, also known as Fishing Vessels. They use nets and other gear to help them catch the fish. They also get paid for fishing. When they go hunting for anything they use weapons, which are guns and knives. They don't need to make these items, they can simply buy them. They still have to work hard to get what they set out for but they don't have to make their tools or their boats. I think it's interesting that there is such a big difference between the way they used to do subsistence and the way they do subsistence now.
