To answer that question I must state another fact.
The new income opportunity for the Eskimos has to do with the fact that there has been gold found in Alaska: they could start mining jobs there. However, this opportunity conflicts with their traditional way of life. How? The Eskimo people have always hunted Salmon, and mining gold would destroy their natural habitat, therefore making it impossible to hunt them like the Eskimos have for hundreds of years.

What are countries with traditional economy?
Traditional Economies Traditional economies refers to countries which have their economy based on the basic economic activities of hunting and gathering or farming.A traditional economy is basically an economic system in which resources are allocated by inheritance, and which has a strong social network and is based on indigenous technology and methods.Examples: Two countries which would be examples of this would be many of the African countries which use agriculture as their main basis for growing food and for jobs, in addition some Asian countries, such as Bangladesh and Burma also rely on farming (agriculture) as their main way for both employment and for producing food for the family and the nation.A couple of other African countries who would fit into this category would include Malawi and the Ivory Coast.Of Africa's 50 or so countries well over half of them would still use traditional ways of gathering and producing food even now in the year 2010.In Addition A traditional economy is one that, like the name suggests, stems from tradition. All the economic discussions are determined by habit and tradition. In this system, people know their place, if your family is a doctor, you will be too. There is little discrepancy about who will do what and how. Because of this however, new ideas or ways of doing things are scorned, thus there is little growth and the standard of living is lower.Entrepreneurs are very rarely found in a traditional economy, Life becomes very stable and predictable. This type of economy is best shown in the Eskimos in Alaska and the Amish people.

What are some solutions for hunger in poverty strickin countries?
From the news, it looks like current donations don't really get to the people who need them. Besides sometimes being foods that the people don't eat (compare our appetite for blubber to that of the Eskimos), there are often problems with local governments and the people who run them. Often, they circumvent the intention of the donors and the items end up on the black market. Some ideas, like the Heifer Project, micro-lending to mostly women in villages and so on have worked quite well. The saying which goes something like "give a man a fish and he eats for a day; show him how to fish, he eats for...." is true.
