Tribute to Belmore

This winter on the lagoon ice behind Kotzebue and in the hills and mountains, local residents may have witnessed a bizarre sight: a white guy on snowshoes, dressed in bright orange bibs and a blue Goretex jacket, carrying a heavy pack and dragging a log lashed in an orange plastic kiddie sled. That was me. Training to climb Denali.

The Historian: Lenape at the time of contact

Volunteers working in our small demonstration garden at the Swamp Creek Park have turned up several arrowheads. Finds such as these are not at all uncommon along local streams. Holding them in hand, the finder can’t help but wonder, “who made these and when?”
