“I am originally from Newtok, Alaska, but I have have been living in Bethel [Alaska] for 16 years. The jobs in the village are taken, so I had no choice but to move here. I got this job, you know? I have got a two-year-old son I have got to support. I used to be a photographer too, for the Tundra Drums [Newspaper for Bethel and the Yukon-Kuskokwim region], back in the early 2000s. I would also write articles here and there—they have them in the archives at the library over there. You can see a lot of my pictures and articles over there.”—Gabriel Charlie, Bethel- Founded in March of 1974, The Tundra Drums has published (weekly) the news and advertising of Bethel and the surrounding Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta of Alaska.
