We are excited to share our latest edition of AAOKH News!  In this issue observers highlight the health and abundance of fish, seal and caribou harvests and note the stormy late winter (January- March) conditions. Other highlights include spring whaling conditions in Utqiazġvik, an update on AAOKH curriculum development, and a highlight of longtime observer Billy Adams. In this issue we are thrilled to announce the launch of the AAOKH Endowment.
