Trowel-ing Against Climate Change

Nunalleq, near Quinhagak, AK, is the world’s largest preserved pre-contact Yu’pik site. The Yu’pik are Alaska's largest indigenous group. However, Nunalleq is immediately threatened by climate change. I spent two weeks there in July 2024, digging as a volunteer and sketching as a self-funded artist residency. Read all about the experience in the following illustrated essays.
