    When bowhead whales pass Utqiagvik on their way north, it's a good time to count them. So ever since April 1, observers have been climbing a perch built on sea ice, right at the edge of an open lead, to count the whales as they swim past. Every 10 years, scientists and local hunters team up to carry out this census of bowhead whales that migrate between Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort seas.

    Dashing through prickly spruce trees on his four-wheeler, Oleksii Butenko led his wife and seven children up a trail near Delta Junction in May. The older kids rode their own four-wheelers and dirt bikes, while the little ones held on behind. At a clearing, they turned off their engines and walked up a hill overlooking the braided Tanana River. The kids explored as the parents sat among early spring flowers. The family visits this spot almost every week, for the views and solitude.

The former mayor was accused of misusing tens of thousands of dollars from public funds last year and withholding information from the council. “The way people see it now, it’s just a dictatorship,” Henry Nashookpuk said. “We are here today to take control back of our city.”
