Wow, what a cool looking place to live. I wonder if that's a traditional sort of housing, and if that was something built a long time ago or is it relatively new? That's great that you are in schools in that village, the Inupiaq drummers looked very awesome. How long will you be in the village, and where are you staying?

lived in, some of them up into the 1970's. Amazing aren't they. I was
in Point Hope from Tuesday until Saturday, with Dr. Ashjian joining me
from Thursday to Saturday. Amazing experience all around. Nice ending
for the trip. The drummers were playing at an open house assembly.
I'll include a clip where you can listen to the music eventually. A bit
jet lagged right now.

Thanks for keeping up with our expedition and hope all is well!
