I just got to tell you guys suicide has ripped our village apart this week, my daughters 30 yr old boy friend shot himself in front of her tue morning while my grandson slept, an elder died a wk before him, my other best friend that was only 45 had a heart attack right after he got his moose cut up with his 14 yr old son next to him and I had to bring the son back up river to show me where the body was to retrieve him, two other elders died a few months before him, all friends and family, we are like in shock here for a village of less then fifty now, and to top it off my wife's uncle and my old school buddy has terminal cancer. Suicide of my grandsons dad has thrown me for a loop and I'll always wonder why from a guy that smiled so much and would do anything for anyone and not want anything in return, I taught him to hunt and trap and worked every job together that came up, we were very close, I never saw it coming and am sure booze played a large part, this is so hard guys, keep us all in a prayer.

Thoughts and prayers Takotna.
Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

Ahhh... Such a majestic symbol of true wilderness is the American grizzly bear! They require the most remote habitat to survive.

Watching a documentary on Netflix about the bear issue in the remote wilderness of Anchorage.

God bless all in your village,sorry for your loss takotna. Here on the coastal communities of the James Bay,suicide amongst younger folk is a big concern.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
