Photo by kiliiiyuyan / Off the northernmost point of Alaska, a crew of Iñupiaq subsistence hunters watches for passing bowhead whales in the spring light at 4 a.m. Subsistence on the sea ice must always stay in tune with the unpredictable weather of the Arctic. When wind has pushed floating ice near the shore, the whalers must wait until it shifts again, sometimes weeks later. Follow me kiliiiyuyan, for more from the Indigenous world.
