The Fastest Woman with an Ulu
Marjorie Tahbone, 28, demonstrates the traditional method of filleting a fish using an ulu during The Gathering, a family-friendly community health fair hosted by the Southcentral Foundation, on Saturday, Feb. 4, 2017, at the Egan Civic and Convention Center in Anchorage. "It's all about identity and who we are as Inuit people," said Tahbone. "I want to make sure that I'm a positive role model for the younger generation... Or at least help people have a better understanding of what it means to be in a subsistence lifestyle." (Rugile Kaladyte / Alaska Dispatch News)

Marjorie is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Her contagious smile and gentle soul really puts your spirit at ease, I wish her and her family along with all the Inuit community in Anchorage much love and happiness.
I meant to google "hulu" but I figured I could spare 2min. Now I know what an ulu is.
Because of her I know what an Ulu is now. Amazing person!!! Keep it up~

They do better with herbs and vegetables than with meat. You can get one on Amazon. I highly recommend it. Cheaper and better than any of the janky kitchen gadgets that chop stuff.
What an uplifting spirit and attitude. She is a joy.
Her positivity is absolutely infectious.
My friend gave me an Ulu for Christmas. We were celebrating his 90th birthday and here he hands me the knife. This is the first video. We fish Chinook and Coho here on the Yaquina and even though I am Sicilian and Jewish, I live among the confederated tribes of the Siletz Indians and I cherish learning anything from my native friends. Ayyyeeee! 😊
Awesome lady! I took home an ULU thinking it was a herb cutter, only then that I learnt it’s more than that. Thank you.
Awesome smile and attitude!
That is really cool. I'm a vegan (not Inuit) and I can appreciate doing things fast with fresh produce. Much respect 🙏🏻😊
Excellent video! Thanks. Excellent skills and personality. Very talented lady.
Working woman worth her weight in gold. She has heart and soul. LOVE FROM THE HEART HER SOUL THAT SPIRIT THAT GUIDE HER IN RIGHT PATH. My best to her and family. Be a support to your sister to be there best also.
Awesome work !! And you display a great personality with lots of positive energy ! You motivated me , great job.
Love this woman!!
Hey! I am thankful to have stumbled upon this competition. The fastest woman with an ulu! What a personality. Love her spunk! 😊
Happy to learn more about another culture. Well done!
Keep up the great work!
What a lovely young woman. Thanks for the lesson in Inuit culture!
Just awesome.
This is why the Benchmade Nestucca is my favorite knife of all time. Best all around Kitchen, hunting, camping and bushcraft knife I have ever owned. They are discontinued but you can find them on Ebay. Great choice of steel, very unique looking, very very practical for many different applications, and looks great in a knife collection. The resale value is great as well. Worth every penny in my opinion!
Just ordered one “ULU” and will be using it very slowly. You are truly amazing and blessed to live in the one place that has my favorite fish. Thank you for the demonstration.
Wow! She's stunning!
what a great personality you have, congrats
An impressive young lady with a great attitude. Continue to inspire others.
This is why KZread is so great and this is a teriffic video to share both this woman's skills and the Ulu tool! I am just learning how to use my Ulu that my Mother brought me from Alaska in the 80s and I added to my kitchen cutlery collection but never learned how to use properly.
What a wonderful person.
She is amazing!
Not only very skilled woman but Inuit Women are Beautiful... God Bless you my friend.. 🙏 Peace from Big Jim New Hampshire USA aka Boston Strong
Hi from Nunavik! Plenty of love for Ulus here as well 🎉
Great video,nice job
A beautiful and amazing art!
A lovely woman and great skills!
She's a beauty!
You Rock!
Beautiful. Nice job of cleaning the fish too. 😊
Aaaaye! Lol I love it! Awesome skills! 💖
Great spirit
Well said, proud woman! :)
I think I'm in love 😍 Seriously though ... what a strong and beautiful role model.
I just finished forging a knife not really knowing what I was making. Now I know what I've made was an ulu. Thank you.
I would marry her in a heartbeat ❤️
I like her energy 😉
GREAT!!!!
Oh I love her
Wow that's amazing! I can't believe how fast you are?
Respect 👍🏾
Awesome
Gorgeous woman!
Greetings from Rainer Winkler!
Just saw this woman on tv like an hour ago and suddenly she's in my suggestions. Ha
very cool
That woman can open up a fish more quickly and skillfully than I can unzip my own winter jacket. Dang.
Yes young lady you are a beast with that ulu very impressive
Love it. Inuit people have an amazing tough culture.

This is so badass 💖
I would be proud to have this woman as a daughter or daughter in law
Great vid, but I need more details about how an ulu is maintained and actually used. Thx.
She has beautiful traditional tattooing. It is wonderful that she takes such pride in a skill that is traditionally the work of Inuit women, without claiming that the traditional work of Inuit women is demeaning. It is not! Cutting and preparing the fish and meat, sewing the family’s clothes, and tending to the seal oil lamp, as well as raising the children, are absolutely essential skills and roles for survival in the Arctic. For this reason and others, Inuit women are greatly respected and treated as equals in their communities, even though men and women perform different traditional roles. Her skills are amazing and essential, and she has been justifiably praised and recognized for them!
Most beautiful. Love your accent
Wow I'm in ❤️😍
Just slices like butter
What ulu do you use, any recommendations?
Super Auntie 😎
Yes Maam thats fast.😁
Я восхищаюсь этой девушкой!
Nice and interesting video. Sorry if this comment seems a little unrelated, but I couldn't help thinking about my own upbringing as a poor white child while this young woman was talking being about being a proud and positive role model for her Inuit people. She uses her skill with an ulu to make a living and teach others about her work and traditions because she feels they are important, and others now recognize the contributions of her skills, art, and culture. In my case, my cultural group has never really felt such belonging, such pride, or such motivation to be activists on our own behalf. On the contrary, we are still often portrayed as jokes. This is a sad thing for children in this situation who may have great potential. Maybe it's past time to change this.

She's so cute!
Would really have liked to see the process from start to finish without interruptions and jumps.
Besides being the fastest woman with an ulu, she seems like a great person in general.
It’s is a cutting competition not a get me the most geo cut percentage competition
and shes so pretty too
Never used an Ulu but I'll tangle with her
They made tic tok. To have a competition. To find the most skilled girl with the uwu.
She's beautiful
This is pretty fast, but she still needs an ulu. I have heard about some native americans that could chase down a running bison, rip a leg off and eat it while they were running.
I'm sorry but the truth is my mom does this stuff just as fast and talks a good conversation
What’s her name
My mother was 13 second for the fish hanging and drying
she's so attractive; good skills, not politically correct, beautiful, great attitude
Wish I could find an Alaskan wife like that
That is a good wife
Who she?
The most skilled women in the kitchen ARE the most desirable!
I (think) the lady may have done that before !
Damn she has some big and sharp teeth
Meddl leude
There's probably a Japanese sushi grand Tokyo super chef somewhere that could Ulu a piece like that in 9.2 seconds She has good spirit on another note
Men lo- actually y’know what? Fish AND men fear her. Everyone fears her. Homegirl’s got the skills to pay the bills and destroy the bodies.
Inuet people rule 👍 !!!!!
Cute lady. She'd be AWESOME for promotion/advertisement. !

Young Lady, one of the three things that I'm afraid of in life is a "woman with a knife/sharp instrument". I don't mean any disrespect by this (so PLEASE don't come after me!!!) but you are a Very Beautiful Young Lady!!! Love your smile and laugh! Congrats on your winning!!!
I love how you barely show any ulu being used
There's nothing better then a Alaskan women. Take her hunting and she can skin a deer just as good as a man. Then at home a lady just can't beat a Alaska women...
