Ardith Weyiouanna.Ardith Weyiouanna in her home in Shishmaref, Alaska in March 2010.Ardith Weyiouanna, wife to original cookbook contributor Johnnie Weyiouanna, invited us into her home to enjoy a meal of sourdough hotcakes and salted herring. "They're called hotcakes, not pancakes," she said. "Pancakes are what come from a box!" Ardith prepares hotcakes everyday from the same recipe her mother used. "I know that they probably came from the White Man," she said, serving us our stacks. "But they've been in my family for generations now." Her husband laughed, "Many times those hotcakes were what got us through the long days."
