Bernice lives the traditional Kaska way of life, which includes hunting, fishing, camping, and berry picking.  She continues to strengthen the individuals around her, by leading by example and passing on her knowledge of the traditions in which she was raised.

The changes Bernice would like to see within the Kaska Nation is for our Kaska homeland to unite. She wants the Kaska people to quit making enemies within our own Nation. We must unite then all Kaska business, activities & economic affairs will be well-known and understood by Kaska members.  Bernice believes that we need a Kaska Constitution, “united we will stand” which we use to govern ourselves. We are the stewards of our land and our own lives.
