  • "I was just out jigging for pikes. Nothing today. I was fishing on the Kuskokwim [River]. It’s right on the other side of this river (Tuluksak River) about a mile away. I walk everyday about four to five miles a day. I go down here, I go down river, about an hour and a half walk. I like walking. People come by on snow machines and offer me a ride home and I say, 'no, I will walk home.' It’s a little different this year—only a little bit of snow, and last year we got nothing. There should be more snow. I have been fishing on the Kuskokwim River almost every year of my life. Most of my catch I give away to dog mushers in town. The Kuskokwim 300 [Dog Sled Race] is going to be pretty soon." — Tommy Owen is Yup'ik and lives in Tuluksak, Alaska.

  • “I was born and raised right here. I was born on King Salmon creek, I don’t know where that is, but it’s somewhere around here. {laughs} I have had dogs all my life; I only had four years of my life during high school when I didn’t run dogs. The day I got back from high school, I started up my own kennel—my folks only had one dog at the time. We went to these boarding schools—I went to one in Oklahoma—and when I left, everyone had dogs. In my absence they had invented the snow machine, and most everyone had gone snow machines. When we were young, we all went through an apprentice program in the village and we were eventually going to be running dogs. I had too much into it, I couldn’t let it go. So I raised my own dogs, and I have had dogs ever since. I have raced all my life, since I was a young man. I have run the Iditarod 17 times and numerous other races. I raced my first Iditarod in 1978/79. I haven’t run the Iditarod in 12 years or longer—it’s been awhile. I use these dogs for hunting and fishing, hauling firewood, the whole nine yards. These are real dogs here.” —Joe Garnie is an Inupiat dog musher from Teller, Alaska.

  • “My birthday is April 22, 1922. I still go to church with my cane, but I forget I have it sometimes and carry it {Laughs}! I walk a lot. When I get tired of staying in, I take a walk. My mom lived to be 104. <br />
<br />
I was born in Qualla {fish camp above Kobuk, Alaska}. I used to always go with the dog team up to that white house up there, the Collins’ house. But when it was too snowy, when the snow was too deep, they would pick me up in their snow jeep. I used to work up there—clean the floor, wash the clothes. They were FAA {Federal Aviation Administration}, Mr. and Mrs. Collins—they had the landing field and plane. I used to take Suzie {daughter} up there when she was little. I had her before I got married, I had my Suzie. My husband couldn’t have kids.” <br />

  • Basketball Hoop.Shishmaref, Alaska, March 2010.Shishmaref feels as though it may as well be the edge of the world. For most of the year, the Inupiat village lies muffled beneath an eclipse of snow and ice, enclosed by a frozen sea. Brightly colored homes nestle in a blue and white landscape before a seemingly endless crystalline expanse pitted against muted motions of village life. In the quiet hum of winter, the promises of distant summer stand stark and deserted-- a lone basketball hoop in a canvas of ice and snow, boats docked in wait for thawing waters.

  • “The ugruk (bearded seal) is the main subsistence food source in Shishmaref. For me, the ugruk season is one of the busiest times of the year. The men and women go out hunting and bring the ugruk back for preparation. When the family decides that they have enough ugruk to last them the winter, the hunters no longer go out hunting. When my mom, aunt, and I prepare the ugruk, we may start the process in the middle of May, and the final product would be complete at the end of June or first part of July. It depends on the weather. Nearly all of the ugruk is used except for the head.<br />
 <br />
About 20 years ago, the men hunted ugruks at the end of May, well into June/July. Now, they hunt as early as mid-May, and the ice is usually rotten or gone by the beginning of June or mid-June. There are times that if it’s too warm, the ugruks can dry too quickly, and it is more difficult to process. We actually prefer to have some snow while we are working on ugruks, because it preserves it longer.<br />
 <br />
The families want to teach the children young so that they can continue to practice the subsistence lifestyle. If they are not taught, they might not know what kind of ice is good and when to go out. If you go out in a certain kind of wind, the ice can block you in, and you can be out there for days. So, they pay attention to the weather.” Katherine Kokeok is Inupiaq from Shishmaref, Alaska.

  • “I just gave my Aana Viola Norton a ride home from the gym.” —Peter Norton is Inupiaq from Noatak, Alaska. While there are a number of cars and trucks in rural Alaskan villages, like Noatak, the main mode of winter transportation in the communities is via snow machine, even in subzero Arctic temperatures.

  • “These are my dad’s old sleds. The runners are bent, so I am taking it apart to rebuild it. I have been building sleds for quite a while. My dad taught me; he would watch me and when I would make a mistake, he would straighten me out, which was good, you know. He would watch and tell me, “you’re not doing it right, right there” and either I would take it apart or just keep on building. I would try not to get mad. Then I had to do it right, which is good. The airfare is getting pretty high here and the gas. So, it’s better off to get some dogs I think, and a lot cheaper. We have seven of our own kids and we adopted five more girls. We have a big family.” —Oscar Griest Sr., is Inupiaq from Shungnak, Alaska. He is working on a handmade sled to pull behind his snow machine. Similar types of sleds are used for dog mushing.

  • “Eddie Rexford and I are both adopted. He was adopted later. I was adopted because I was named after my aunt’s and uncle’s first daughter. Her name was Mary Ann, and she had died. When my sister was born, they decided to move to Barrow [Alaska], and the only way we traveled back then was by dog team or boat. It was in February. They decided to leave me behind, and Martha, his daughter by his first wife, begged them to take me along, she told them she could carry me on her back, but they didn’t listen. They left me behind with my new parents, Herman and Meldred Rexford. Spring came early that year. They came back by boat. When they came back, they tried to take me back with them to their home and family. I cried; I wanted to stay with my new parents. So they just left me there with them. <br />
<br />
When I was little, we traveled by dog team to go hunt sheep in the mountains. My mom would dress me in caribou snow pants, boots, and parka; I was nice and toasty. I used to pick frozen berries while they trapped squirrels. I remember one time Hulahula River was frozen, they put a sail on the sled and we sailed down to the edge of the river. That was so cool. We always traveled by dog team, and my dad would sing and yodel. We would watch the sky and the aurora; it’s dark and the moon is bright, so we would know where we were going. Those were good times. <br />
<br />
I remember when the army first came. They came with big ships—noisy, noisy. We had a tent down there and I remember I was with my uncle and we were down there to take care of our fish net. But they came and we got scared, rushed into our tent and covered ourselves up. Those G.I’s or whoever they were came peeking into our tent. We had a nice quiet village and then they came. They were so loud, with all of their equipment and building. They were building a warning system during the Cold War. We moved our little sod house from where the airport hanger is to over here.” — Mary Ann Warde is Inupiaq and lives in
