Description:
Nick Mavar in his early days as a fisherman in Bristol Bay, Alaska, circa 1970s. He is wearing a hat with the logo of AIFMA (Alaska Independent Fishermen's Marketing Association), the fishermen's union. Although the fishermen were independent and could not engage in collective bargaining, AIFMA negotiated fish prices with the cannery owners. AIFMA is now the Bristol Bay Fishermen's Association (BBFA).
