Our GLOBE Research

We have been a GLOBE school since 1998. Different classes of students have set up different study sites over the years but in 2005 our local research on our environment took on a different twist when lightening struck behind our village and burned a 15-acre area of land dangerously close to local homes.

The Alaska State Forestry Department hired the Shageluk Emergency Fire Fighting crew and the EFF crew from Nikolai to assist in putting out the fire. The fire lasted just two weeks but has provided us with long-term data on regrowth in a Boreal forest that has made us think about climate change and how it effects our cultural traditions and survival as the Deg Hitan people!

Everett: Saturday, June 28, Departure Day #1

After breakfast we called for a cab and went to a Haley Davidson store and Rudy gave the boss two t-shirts because he said that was is tradition. They talked for awhile and he said all of us can pick out a hat for a souvenir and a soda. After that we went to the W and A Waterfront Mall that had lots of stuff in there. Jamie wanted to look at the beach and me and Jack had to go with him. Jamie was taking pictures of the big waves and he gave the camera to Jack and he took a picture of Jamie by the ocean and we left back. We got to the store and we saw some people from Holland that we knew but we never talked to them. We met up with Rudy and Joy and bought some food for lunch and Jack only bought two hams. We looked around for somewhere to sit down. We ate our food and left back to the dorms. We all went up stairs and sat around and waited for our ride to go to the airport. We waited for a long time and we finally left to the airport. We got our tickets and everyone got First Class except for me. We went through security and then took two cans of pop out of Jack's bag and Jack tried to waste out time and drink them but Joy said to just throw it, we had to go. We waited for a long time for our flight by all the stores in the airport because our flight number didn't show a gate number on the overhead screen. Someone told us our gate number and we went down there and they checked our bags one more time and waited in line. Someone came gave us a message: the Captain had gotten food poisoning so we got a hotel room and went to bed.
