Kalskag

This blog is based on a true story that is unfolding before your very eyes.  The names have been changed to protect the innocent (except the main character.)

Kalskag is an Alaska bush village of about 500 Yupik Native mix of Eskimos located on the Kuskokwim River 100 miles East of Bethel.  It is divided into upper and lower Kalskag, about 3 miles apart.  It includes a post office where you can send me care packages, general delivery to Kalskag, Alaska 99607.  Kalskag has a small airport and a mercantile store.  The new High School serves about 70 7^th-12^th grade students.  I have  been assigned to work in the elementary school in Upper Kalskag.
