NES's Inupiaq Immersion first grade class made seal oil with their elders by cutting up seal (ugruk) blubber and then put it into buckets to render. Students stirred the buckets daily and kept track of the rendering process. After two weeks the oil was ready and was gifted to elders in the community. Traditionally, seal oil had many uses such as heating homes, preserved many types of food, providing light, and cooking fuel. Today it is primarily used to preserve greens and roots as well as to dip food into for the wonderful rich flavor. It is an extremely nutritious traditional delicacy high in Omega 3 fatty acids.
