Talk Of Alaska

Caribou from the Porcupine Caribou Herd in 2007. The herd often calves on the Arctic Coastal Plain. (Andrew Ramey/USGS) The history of caribou, their migrations within the arctic, climate change and the intertwined lives of the people who depend on this fragile ecosystem are captured in Kotzebue-based author Seth Kantner’s latest book, “A Thousand Trails Home: Living With Caribou.” As the cold and dark part of our season settles in, join us for a discussion on Kantner’s writing and other new Alaska author releases for winter reading.
