I took this picture in Nuiqsut, a North Slope village resettled by the Inupiat after the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act was passed in the early 1970s. If you click on the photo, it should enlarge. Before the permanent structures of the village were built, the residents lived in a tent-camp huddled alongside the riverbank for a year (see picture below). I think the pictures here speak for themselves. The people here are warmer than any I have ever met.
