Local Youth in Alaska
Amy, Molly, Ada, Nathan, Bobo and Jay Jay walk around the streets of Wainwright looking for entertainment outside the sporting season. Sport is a lifeline for the youth of the North Slope. Basketball is hugely popular here with each city competing against each other in state championships.

70° North - Arctic Documentation
70° North is a multimedia project documenting the impact of climate change and resources exploration in the Arctic.
Shell's plans to drill offshore in the Alaskan Arctic in 2012 has divided the native communities who now stand at a crossroads between continued benefits from industry generated revenues and protecting the marine environment they have depended on for thousands of years. Shell's proposed offshore drill site is in the path of the bowhead whale's migration route. Many Inupiat hunters are concerned about Shell's lack of spill response capabilities if licenses are granted to drill offshore in the Arctic's Beaufort and Chukchi seas
Greenpeace is campaigning for a global sanctuary to be declared around the uninhabited area of the North Pole to save the Arctic from attempts by oil companies to exploit the region’s resources for short term profit.
