This is pretty bad, as usual with all these reality alaska shows they say the SAME THING, OVER AND OVER. You can watch every one of them, different networks different gimmicks, and they say the same things, which are largely not true at all.
These people have all the modern tools to "pass on the legacy" blah blah, every second they're one step away from dying, yeah try to cross a busy street in a city or drive a car in a city etc etc sheesh. They sound like teenagers saying well I'm cool and you're not we're real and you all are fake etc typical low self esteem projecting going on. I realize the production gives them their lines because these people get paid for this under contract for it all. It's scripted drama called "reality" nothing more. Just Sues lawsuit in the top level series proves all that, scripted drama and such. Tells you a lot about the honesty for hire of these people. I shouldn't have to mention the browns but there you go.
Another aspect is that in a show that's about natives we get a negro distant relative from California featured and also an obviously inverted couple from Seattle. So these are transplants at best, paid actors at worst, who happen to have a distant connection to the area. Daddy is the soft voiced sparkly eyed one with the curves but hgh monster sized and the little blond boy mommy is the no hips huge pre-marin horse teeth stick figure. This is similar to another little blond boy on Port Protection etc very gross. The other one I remember from S1 is the cover girl there with the big non native hubby mmkay very convincing.
The rest is just typical mumbly stuff about surviving, legacy, family, blah blah. Where's the free gov money these people live on? The sitting at home watching cable all winter with some hooch like a baby w a bottle? The oil money they all get every year? They stay there for all that free stuff and lazing around not some legacy which they only know anything about in stories likely hugely embellished like your typical monster fish story or bear encounter story etc. Let's see some navnation in arizona on reality tv, oh right too obvious, producers can't hide it all enough.
If you're going to claim you live native where are the spears and bows and arrows? Oars and canoos? Igloos? We got the revolting shooting swimming caribou with 22's in the head by the natives in the top level of this series a few years ago and they get away with that because they're native living traditionally sheesh What kind of state is Alaska? The SOA should be ashamed of itself. All I saw here was fisihing boats and modern tech and clothing.
The only thing that was well done was the photography of the areas which is stunning to look at. Usually the only reason I watch these things as the rest is usually pretty agro. And yeah the music is overdone and mixed terribly with the crazy levels. It's like you watch a game and the crowd is turned up too much for the hype and you can't hear the announcers. It's a sound design with bad levels. Many movies also do this to where you need subs to hear the characters or turn it up to hear dialogue then with the huge booming sound you get your ears blown out.
