Photo by Katie Orlinsky @katieorlinsky | A young girl stands next to freshly caught sheefish on the frozen Kotzebue Sound. While she may have had some help catching this large local species of fish, she will most likely be catching them on her own soon enough. The city of Kotzebue is one of Alaska’s largest Inupiat communities, with a population of 3,000, and the main transportation and commerce hub for the Northwest Arctic region of the state. The city is facing serious infrastructure issues as a result of permafrost thaw and coastal erosion, as well as challenges to its residents' traditional subsistence hunting practices in the face of climate change. Hunting, fishing, and foraging for food are not only crucial as the main food sources for Inupiat communities in the Alaskan Arctic, they are the backbone of cultural, spiritual, and everyday life—and important rites of passage for children like this little girl.
