This is great news. I knew middle aged and especially older Inupiat residents of Utqiaġvik and other North Slope and Northwest Arctic villages who had to leave Alaska just to go to high school.  Sadie Brower Neakok went to high school in San Francisco, for instance. Other friends went to Chemawa, Oregon and Chilocco, Oklahoma. For college, some went to Haskell, Kansas. I took a class in newspaper writing at Iḷisaġvik from Arctic Sounder and Anchorage Daily News reporter/editor Dimitra Lavrakas.
