Smiles in Sivuqaq

Just back into Nome from Sivuqaq (Gambell) on St. Lawrence Island. What a great experience, some good friends, good weather, and a successful spring hunt for the community. Even the Russian mainland was clearly in view most days. Click on this picture to see Chukotka, only 40 miles away.



Subsistence, a mix of the old and the new...



My memories, will as usual be filled with smiles...

Hi Martin!

Great photos! I am sure homesick for SLI this year. Glad spring went well and it sounds like whaling was good in both villages. Have a great summer! Lisa Sheffield
