    She was correct. The change has accelerated too, and the
    differences in even the past 5-10 years are very noticeable.

    Well, that would be just a really good trick. There are no
    trees within perhaps 200 miles, unless you count willows as a
    tree, and then it is over 100 miles to the nearest willow that
    is more than 4 feet high.

    However, what they actually quoted was Benedict Jones, from the
    Koyukuk River, which is three or four hundred miles south of
    here, in what is called the "Interior" of Alaska. That is the
    south side of of the Brooks Range. The north side is called the
    North Slope, which is the common term that everyone uses for
    where the oil patch is.

    The story is pretty well written. The pictures they have a good
    too, and depict typical visuals of what is here. The picture of
    a house would have been better if they had backed off a bit to
    show more of what surrounds that house. It is a "typical" older
    home, and is weather beaten with "well lived in" look. It is
    surrounded by the tools of a subsistence lifestyle: boats,
    4-wheel ATVs, sleds, etc. etc.

    They have a *great* picture of Bertha Levitt too! The elders here
    are a wonderful resource, and a great influence on the community.
