- Historical Domain Character: Elizabeth Peratrovich was a real life activist who was very influential in passing the first anti-discrimination law in an American state or territory.
- Innocently Insensitive: The two tourists don't intend any offense toward Molly and Tooey, and are simply ignorant of what Alaska Natives are actually like. They apologize later and gladly let the kids show them around Qyah.
- Mama Bear: Layla gets visibly angry when she learns that two tourists insulted her daughter, and sternly instructs the tourists to be quiet and listen to the kids' lecture before they start asking about tours. Aunt Merna also gets a bit of this when she tells Molly that if she'd been there, those tourists would've gotten a stern talking to.

- Rite of Passage: The throw party is a Yup'ik tradition that celebrates a boy's first successful seal hunt by offering the meat to the elder women in the tribe and various gifts to other women. Its purpose is to teach the boy that part of being a man is caring for his community.
- Serious Business: Renate cracks her neck in preparation to catch the gifts thrown at Tooey's celebration.
- Wax On, Wax Off: Tooey is confused and frustrated by Jay's unusual teaching methods, even after Jay tries to explain them. It's not until he realizes Jay is teaching him the way Grandma Elizabeth teaches the Yup'ik language that he understands and sticks with it.
