Family ties and community support are central to the lives of the villagers, with many working together to gather food or build new structures. The show also highlights the importance of traditional Native Alaskan practices and beliefs in the lives of the villagers. Many residents of Tanana still practice subsistence hunting and fishing, and are deeply connected to the natural world around them. The show frequently features rituals and ceremonies that have been practiced in the area for centuries. Yukon Men is a captivating and often thrilling look at life in one of the most remote and challenging places on earth.
