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: Thursday, June 26, Field Day #2

After breakfast and everything we all took buses to the Wetlands. They had all kinds of different plants ther. We all ahd to sketch and write about the plants there. After that, my friend from Madagascar showed me a plant that he uses at High School and told me how to use it. He said you can inhale it or boil it inhot water and drink it. He said it will help you with sore throats, stomach ache and headaches. After everything was done at the wetlands we to to Tyger Mountain. We saw 5 deer on the hills. We set up a little site that was 4x4 meters and found out the percent of grass and woody bushes. After that we had to do math to figure out how much carbons were in the grass and woody bushes. After we figured it we walked up the mountain to the top and looked around for awhile. First thing we got up there we had to walk down fast because our bus was leaving in 15-minutes so we took off down the hill. Everyone got on the bus and we took off back to the dorms. When we got back we had dinner really quick and went to Jameson Hall. We all got there and the place looked really fancy because of all the candles and table cloths, it was cool. We all ate dinner and had games and dance and a bunch of fun. After everything we all went back to the dorms and went to bed.
