OUR ULUS ... we handcraft each Chakok River Ulu with vintage American handsaw steel, Alaskan caribou and moose antler sheds, and polished copper pins. The result is an extremely versatile tool that ages beautifully with each use in the kitchen, fileting fish dockside, or dressing a hunt in the field.
You'll appreciate our historically-styled ulus for a lifetime - these are not the typical mass-produced tourist items. They are destined to become cherished family heirlooms, just as ulus have been passed from one generation to the next in the Great North for thousands of years.
OUR STORY ... it all started with a road trip in Dad's old blue '76 Chevy pickup and a summer spent processing salmon in Nikishka back in '95 - returning to Alaska became a life-long obsession. After three decades, we were able to purchase 30 acres of off-grid property near Nikolaevsk, and Saint Olga Homestead was born.
With one foot in the Lower 48 and the other in Alaska, each purchase helps us fund the next steps to develop our homestead, which will eventually include several secluded cabins, providing guests with the perfect off-grid experience.
OUR PATRON ... undeterred by her own family’s poverty and tragedies in Alaska, Matushka (Mother) Olga selflessly devoted her life to serving the less fortunate in her village and beyond. Not only did she provide warm clothing and boots, she also served as a prophetic midwife, and ministered to the abused and neglected. Venerated and seen in visions long after her death, many miracles are attributed to her. As a result, Matushka Olga was proclaimed a saint.
