[One] health issue, particularly for the Inuit of the Cape Thompson region, is cancer, brought on by the dumping of 15,000 pounds of nuclear waste by the Atomic Energy Commission. Also, radiation experiments on flora and fauna of the region as well as Russian nuclear waste dumping offshore have contaminated many areas of northwestern Alaska, putting the native population at risk.

Scrimshaw -- etching or carving on ivory or bone -- was practiced by the Inuit and other native groups along the Northwest Coast for many centuries. In the early 1800s, it was adopted by the Yankee whalemen who turned to scrimshaw to alleviate the boredom of whaling trips. They mostly worked with baleen and whale teeth that were part of the pay on some ships.
