Description:
Located in Western Alaska at approximately 59 degrees latitude and within one mile of the Bering Sea, Quinhagak is a quintessential Yupik Eskimo community of about 600 individuals who care deeply about preserving their heritage. This article details how the community took advantage of an Esri 4-H Train the Trainer Grant and other resources to conduct a three-week-long GPS/GIS course. They trained four youth and four adults to use these skills to map archeological sites and environmentally sensitive areas. © 2011 Directions Media. 10/17/11.
