The Jesse Lee Home Cemetery in Seward is being restored after being abandoned and reclaimed by nature for over 60 years! ๐ณ Originally opened in 1926 as an orphanage and boarding school for Alaska Native children, the site was closed after the 1964 earthquake and the remaining buildings were demolished in 2020. ๐๏ธ During the demolition, the Qutekcak Native Tribe realized a forgotten cemetery existed on the property. ๐ฎ Because the original grave markers were removed and lost decades ago, volunteers initially had no idea how many children and workers were buried there, except for a single standing nurse's headstone. ๐ชฆ Now, thanks to the incredible teamwork of volunteers using metal detectors and LiDAR technology, about 40 grave sites have been successfully identified and marked with flags. ๐บ๏ธ While they may never be able to put a name to every single grave, work will continue this summer to scan the rest of the area. ๐ฒ The Seward City Council has officially started the process of transferring the land to the Qutekcak Native Tribe, who plan to build a beautiful totem arch entrance, paths, and benches to create a peaceful space for reflection and healing. โค๏ธโ๐ฉน Read the full historic update here: #AlaskaHistory #SewardAlaska #Restoration#Seward#Alaska#Community#CulturalHeritage#JesseLeeHome AlaskaNativeHistory ...

According to a 2008 study on the Efficacy of Bear Deterrent Spray in Alaska that reviewed 72 incidents when people sprayed a bear, it was 90% effective---BUT 3 of 9 people who sprayed a charging grizzly were injured. 46 of 72 incidents involved non-aggressive bears that were either curious or seeking food or garbage. If you think bear spray will protect you 90% of the time from a charging grizzly, you're dreaming. As Mark Twain said, "there are lies, damn lies, and statistics." The sample size for bear spray vs a charging grizzly is so tiny that people who rely on spray vs a charging grizzly are human crash-test dummies.
A powerful new documentary is shining a light on the human stories behind the homelessness crisis in Alaska's largest city. ๐ฅโ๏ธ Anchorage Welcomes You, created by Norwegian filmmakers Peter Gupta and Rasmus Aarskog Sรฆtersdal, takes an intimate look at the "duality" of life on the streets. ๐๏ธ๐ค Shot over two years, the film moves past political fixes to focus on the people themselvesโshowing both the struggle of addiction and the incredible capacity for resilience and recovery. ๐๏ธโจ The title was inspired by a weathered city sign standing above a local encampment, a symbol of the contrast between the city's public image and the reality for those living without shelter. ๐๏ธ๐ The creators hope this project sparks a deep conversation about social fragmentation and the unique spirit of the "Last Frontier" that draws people in, even when they have nowhere else to go. ๐ฒ๐ Check out the full story on their journey and the people they met along the way here: ๐ #AnchorageWelcomesYou#AlaskaDocumentary#SocialIssues#AnchorageLife#HumanStories#LastFrontier#DocumentaryFilm#CommunityConversation...
