An Alaska district aligns its school year with traditional subsistence harvests
In the summer of 2023 I travelled by boat to the village of Akiachak, Alaska with fellow KYUK journalist Evan Erickson. In Akiachak, local school calendars have been adjusted to allow children to spend more time participating in traditional cultural subsistence activities, like fishing in the summer or moose hunting in the fall and winter. We spent an afternoon on the river in a boat full of children whose shouts of glee echoed up and down the riverbanks with each salmon that was pulled up in the net.

Dog mushing in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta
Dog mushing is the official state sport of Alaska. In the southwest Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, it is booming.
Starting in November or as soon as the weather is cold enough to allow it, teams race up and down the frozen Kuskokwim River in a variety of races ranging in distance from short sprint races to the 300-mile Kuskokwim 300, a race that brings mushers into Bethel from across the state, nation, and globe.
