ADAM, WHERE DOES MUKTUK COME FROM? I'm glad you asked. Anchorage's KTUU Channel 2 News traveled to the northernmost settlement in North America, remote Barrow, Alaska, to do a three-part series this week on chasing the bowhead whale (I, II, III). Regardless of all the health warnings and other coverage we've given in the past, it's worth remembering (as these pieces demonstrate) that this is really about community and tradition more than anything else. It takes a village to eat an entire whale.
