Being from Alaska in a Peopling of the Americas conference was a bit like being a super star. People were thrusting hands at me wanting to shake like I was doing with Dennis Stanford, Bruce Bradley, Jim Chatters, Michael Faught, and Quentin Mackie. They’d say: “You work in Alaska right?”, which is weird because I was just along for the ride and didn’t present anything. So depending on my mood, the environment, and possibly how interesting I thought the person might be, I’d share one of my stories about scuba diving in the Aleutian Islands, snorkeling in a lake in the Brooks Range well above the Arctic Circle, encountering a nursing bear in Denali, or being yanked out by Pebble Mine just minutes after the helicopter had dropped me off.
