AK Natives on the Front Line: Hunting&Whaling Practices - a podcast by Alice Q Glenn

This episode features brothers Jack and Brower Frantz, Iñupiaq hunters and whalers born raised in Utqiaġvik, Alaska. AK Natives on the Front Line is a special series of Coffee & Quaq highlighting the adaptability and resilience of the Iñupiat in the face of climate change, a project funded by the Putlizer Center Connected Coastlines program, done in partnership with journalist Jenna Kunze. We travelled up to Utqiaġvik earlier this year at the peak of winter when the sun had returned back to the Arctic and interviewed residents about the various aspects of how Iñupiat life has changed, but also how it has remained the same. Throughout this series we explore things like subsistence whaling practices, research, anthropological work, and more.
