Michael Wald (my partner) is giving a slide show
about bowhead whales next Thursday, Feb 19 from 7-9 in the media room on the
first floor of the library (same place our slide shows were held).
It
will be about his 3 seasons spent on the northern coast of Alaska
(Beaufort Sea) working on a bowhead whale census. It is also about
traditional whale hunting, Eskimo culture, the politics of hunting an
endangered species, how whales are actually censused (no questionairres),
outhouses made out of ice, and chopping trail on the sea ice. and there might
be some polar bear stories if you ask!
We'd love to see you there and
all your friends and family...pass it on!
