Housing Crisis in Nome: Homeless, not hopeless Thu, 07/22/2021 - 8:44pm admin
By Julia Lerner As the housing crisis worsens, The Nome Nugget plans to explore different aspects of homeless and low-income life in the community. Regularly, the Nugget will include an article addressing addiction, the housing crisis, profiles of homeless residents, and different approaches and solutions to the crisis. This article, titled “Homeless, not Hopeless”, is designed as an introduction to Nome’s unhoused population. We will dig much deeper into each aspect of homelessness, as well as solutions, over the coming weeks. Robert “B Boy” Lincoln loves to cook.

Cana Uluak Itchuaqiyaq stepped onto the greens of Virginia Tech University for the first time in May 2021. But this campus tour was unlike any other Itchuaqiyaq had taken in the past.
Now she is Dr. Cana Uluak Itchuaqiyaq - an Inupiaq woman from Kotzebue, recent doctoral graduate, and a new professor at the university. I ve spent so much of my time being nurtured or challenged by professors but I never considered that I could be one myself, said Itchuaqiyaq. It was just not within my world of expectation . so walking across campus it just really tripped me out!

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) â John Waghiyi remembers rushing his cousin to the clinic in the Bering Sea city of Savoonga in December, worried he was having a possible heart attack while out butchering a bowhead whale. Waghiyi arrived to see elders waiting in the lobby for a COVID-19 vaccine.
Waghiyi, 66, said he joined them and got a shot before returning to the coast to help finish the whale harvest.
Elders, he said, have set the tone in the Alaska Native community of 735 on the coast of isolated St. Lawrence Island. Vaccination rates for eligible residents 16 or older are among the regionâs best, with over 80% having had at least one dose, according to the regional tribal health corporation.
