FB reports that Kivalina (northwest of Kotzebue) is now evacuating due to coastal flood threat. Kivalina does have road access to inland area. #akwx #AlaskaSky

shaktoolik, kivalina, and shishmaref are a few of the villages that i always keep an eye on…

when big storms hit rural alaska communities, i struggle to sleep until it passes and we get word that they’re safe

"our greatest fear is a storm will hit shaktoolik in the middle of the night and, when we pick up the phone in the morning the line is dead, and the whole community is wiped out."

i’m expecting a declaration of emergency from dunleavy—and am hopeful that the native village of kotzebue will apply for a federal declaration as well

guess who has a new obsession to hyperfixate on??

after 30 years of beading, i’m finally learning weaving

after struggling on the first row, my fingers started getting into a steady weaving rhythm on the second ☺️
