Today we have a story about climate change, hunting and eating bowhead whale in The Guardian, an international newspaper based in England. It’s the second part in our project on climate change, hunting and traditional foods, funded by the Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting.
With seal-skin cuff links, bridal party kuspuks and ulu earrings, this couple made Yupik culture a centerpiece of their wedding.
When I had the chance to test run a few H&M Kids options ahead of H&M’s Anchorage store opening this week, I was all about it. My little guys were too, but only because it meant they got a pass to climb all over the furniture while I snapped pictures.
See how my friend Ivan harvests honey. (And learn how to make tea from fresh AK wildflowers!)
When I’m staring down dinner on Friday afternoon and I want to throw something delicious together that will go great with a nice cold glass of white wine (and won’t make too many dishes), I make this.
I’m a very amateur gardener, but this year, I went pro in the poppy department. You can too.
See what happened when I turned this Pier 1 server no one would buy on Craigslist into a pop of color.
Photographer Katie Orlinsky and I did a big trip in June, visiting Kotzebue and Point Hope, looking at the ways climate change is impacting subsistence foods. Here are some iPhone pictures from Kotzebue, where we were reporting for National Geographic News about the short bearded seal season.
In Kotzebue, as temperatures and ice become increasingly unpredictable, hunters worry their children and grandchildren will no longer be able to participate in the traditional seal hunt.
