It might have been who you worked with. The Alaskans I have met are all pretty much normal American with a little more "frontier spirit."
Two brothers I know would get fedexed packages of caribou and salmon jerky from their mom who made it in their house after dad went out and killed a caribou, butchered it, then caught some salmon in a nearby river.
I know a gal that lived in a town only accessible by sea or air. Her mom wrote this book. It is a good read, definitely in NPR Garrison Keillor style. It doesn't seem all that far off from any small town area.
I will say the Alaskans I have met do take it as a point of pride just being from Alaska. Like "you bitches just don't understand what being hardy is."
