Popularized in spoofs of Sarah Palin, there's something called "Alaska-speak". In the colloquialisms of Alaska, what are referred to as 'Sourdoughs'?
Answer People who've lived in Alaska a long tine
As described on the website Listenandlearnusa.com, a 'Sourdough' is "an experienced Alaskan; someone who has lived in Alaska for a long time." For example, if Glenda said "I hope Tommy is OK, he headed towards Nome this morning and the wind and snow and crazy today," Melissa might respond: "He'll be fine, he's a Sourdough."
