One of the longest continuously occupied sites in North America, where Inupiat crews still take bowhead whales from skin boats under a quota they negotiated themselves. A 1950s federal plan to excavate a harbour here with nuclear explosives was defeated by local opposition.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
Location: historic site
