The story of Eskimo ice cream
By Lee Ann Hoogendorn-Alowa, Tribal Social Worker, Kawerak
The word “akutaq” (phonetic: agoodik) means “the blended one, the
mixture.” Akutaq is also known as “Eskimo ice cream.” This is a classic Native
delicacy, popular throughout Alaska.
The recipe differs greatly depending on the part of the region in which it is made. The following recipe is from a group of ICWA workers who met in April during the fourth annual ICWA/CINA conference in Nome.
Linda Kakoona, Brevig Mission tribal family coordinator, and Geri Hoogendorn,
Diomede tribal family coordinator, demonstrated how to make akutaq.
During their demonstration, the ICWA workers had a roundtable discussion on
how akutaq is made in communities throughout the Bering Strait region.
The ingredients before Western contact often included:
One or more kinds of berries:
- salmonberries (akpiq), blackberries (aqlluk), or blueberries.
- Animal oil (seal, walrus, or whale).
- Dried fat (reindeer, caribou, or moose).
- Fish (trout, salmon, etc.).
- Fish liver.
- Dried salmon eggs.
- Greens.
There was no sugar. In Solomon, some people made it with squirrel liver
fat, seal oil and blueberries.
Oil is made from the blubber (fat) next to the skin of a seal, walrus, or whale.
The blubber is flushed off the skin, cut into strips and stored in seal pokes,
wooden barrels, or other large containers. It is left to render and eventually
turns into oil.
The preparation of the reindeer, caribou, or moose fat is to hang dry and freeze. When ready to use the fat, it is grated into small pieces; animal oil is added slowly while beating with the hand. After some seal oil has been used, a little water is added while whipping. More oil and water are added until the mixture turns white and fluffy. At this point, berries and any of the above ingredients are added.
Women traditionally made Eskimo ice cream after the first catch of a polar bear
or seal. The woman (grandmother or mother of the hunter) would prepare the
akutaq and share it with community members during a special occasion such
as a potluck.
Ingredients today consist of some of the above, Crisco, sugar, dried fruit (such
as apricots or peaches), frozen raspberries or raisins.
How akutaq is made has changed throughout Alaska. However, people
have lived in this harsh environment for thousands of years, and akutaq has remained a much desired, tasty dessert.
