"Reindeer and Caribou are often intermingled and difficult to tell the difference, they are owned by herders and are rounded up for the season's antler culling as a profitable venture to sell to Korea. I can approach them if in stealth mode otherwise they are skittish and will show you their rear for the best possible photo shot!"

"Sod house, mostly built from driftwood, whale bone, mammoth tusks and roofed with sod.  This had been a typical house along the Chukchi Sea beach regions.  Boats were pulled up the shore on rollers by villagers or carried to sheltered racks if they were kayaks.  Hunters along these sea beaches were constantly looking out to sea, with one 'eye' on shore for bears and caribou.  Raids were the occasion from the inland rivers by the Indian folk that had issues with the coastal Inuit and sometimes arrowheads were used for a different purpose."

"Ipiutak Inuit prehistoric end blade insert for a walrus ivory fore-shaft.  It was typical of advanced Inuit hunters to have replaceable fore-shafts that could be inserted into an arrow-shaft in the event of breakage. I have only one that was ground of nephrite jade from the Kotzebue region, but it is regrettable that it no longer is in my collection.  With my future return expeditions to this region in some future I still yet may replace it, meanwhile, there are many more 'out there' that are available for diligent search.  Imagine, the amount of seasons in history whereby these Inuit and their ancestors have hunted regularly utilizing these blades on a daily basis and then to imagine how many of these blades had been used for say...thousands of years!"  "As far as I can tell, these stone artifacts will last for untold thousands of years with little evidence of wear and erosion."

"Long Arrow projectile blade, with a fore-shaft of Woolly Mammoth Ivory, discovered in the Kotzebue region, of Alaska. The lacing had been restored as the original find did not have lacing attachments. So many of such discoveries I have, were never excavated but are frequently discovered in sand blow-outs on Arctic beaches, gravel bars on creeks and rivers and on observation sites on 'over-looks' and plateaus that have viewpoints of entire areas utilized by ancient hunters as far back as the Ice Age."

"Remarkable ancient Inuit end blade in keeping with Ipiutak micro-blade technology, beautiful blue-green cryptocrystalline chert, as with a length of 2.5 inches, and as thin as 1/16th of an inch...discovered in a sand blow-out beach ridge on the Choris Peninsula.  There were an assorted degree of flint type shards scattered throughout the entire beach ridge formations as well as many walrus vertebrates, bearded seal remnants and many small variety of bones of rabbit and crane, as many are caused by Toklat Grizzlies digging out squirrel burrows."  One can search areas for many hours, and not unlike 'big game' fishing, suddenly you have a strike and a fabulous artifact surfaces and makes it's...appearance."

"Arctic Clovis discovered on a high ridge overview above the American River south of Brevig Mission and Teller Alaska, Seward Peninsula.  This was a 'surface' discovery and had not been exposed by erosion, but had existed at location since it's loss or deposit. The entire region is a major site of ancient hunters, shards of broken blades and chert fragments are common and the elevated area is probably over 500 feet in elevation taking in the entire region, valley and river."'note the abundance of lichen deposits on blade surface'

"A recent hunter's 'blind' and observation post. This is and even in prehistoric times was a common method of hunting most animals that came through their areas. Caribou also followed the coastal areas to use the winds to drive away the mosquitoes, and bears were always in the same areas due to winter kill marine mammals that drifted out on the beaches to be used by the many preditors. Ravens always were a signal to beach washed winter kill and all hunters kept vigil." "Even to this day, the recent Inuit leave behind weaponry and objects of the hunt as in the ancient past...hunters had also did."
