| Otis Ahkivgak, Part 1 | 97-64-05_PT.1 | Sea Ice in Northern Alaska |
This is a recording of Kenneth Toovak providing a verbal English summary translation of an interview he conducted in Iñupiaq with Otis Ahkivgak on December 8, 1979 in Barrow, Alaska. The interview was for UAF researchers Dr. Lewis Shapiro and Ron Metzner on the project Historical References to Ice Conditions Along the Beaufort Sea Coast of Alaska (Scientific Report, Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1979). Kenneth summarizes each of the four original tapes made with Otis on separate new tapes. Ron Metzner is with Kenneth, asking clarifying questions. Unfortunately, the location of the original Iñupiaq tapes are unknown; the UAF Oral History Collection only has these English audio translations and their transcripts. In this first part of a four part interview recorded on January 6, 1980, Kenneth talks about Otis talking about ice conditions along the Beaufort Sea coast between Barrow and Barter Island, and life along the northern coast, including hunting, traveling, and trading at the trade fair at Niġliq on the Colville River. |

| Harry Brower, Sr. | 97-64-06 | Sea Ice in Northern Alaska |
Harry Brower, Sr. was interviewed on November 7, 1979 by Ron Metzner in Barrow, Alaska for a project related to potential oil development of the Alaskan continental shelf. Interviews from this project appear in Historical References to Ice Conditions Along the Beaufort Sea Coast of Alaska (Scientific Report, Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, 1979). However, Harry Brower's interview was not included in the publication. In this interview, Harry talks about sea ice movement at Cape Halkett and around Barrow, Alaska, and his own experience with being out on moving ice. He also discusses ice pile ups, changes in the sea ice, and the year the ice did not go out in Barrow (1975). |
