ondreeuh Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Most of the remote areas don't have a major employer - just the school and health clinic, some construction, some mining, some commercial fishing. A lot of people hunt, fish, and gather berries for their own food (subsistence living). The village we're moving to gets a lot of money from a corporation the Native American tribe owns. The corp. has lots of programs and is very successful. The kids do fundraising and travel around the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottakee Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Never heard of a vampire movie about Barrow. My friend's husband has been on a TV show about remote areas when he was doing a medi-vac and he just drove the ice road and then along the ocean with their jeep to save the shipping costs. I hope to go visit there next year. Before Barrow, they had lived in Wainwright as missionaries for 15 years and 5 years in other areas of Alaska. The past 6 years though she has been down here in good old West Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
