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!

Jack: Saturday, June 28, Departure Day #1

After I had breakfast I went to my room to pack more of my stuff. I was done by 9:30 so laid around for awhile until Joy or Rudy wanted us to bring our bags out of our rooms into a room upstairs. We had to check out of our room then we got to run around Cape Town for awhile. First we went to Cape Town's Harley Davidson so Rudy could give the owner something from Alaska's Harley Davidson and right before we were going to leave he said we could get something free and I chose a hat, so did Everett and Jamie did also and I don't know what Joy and Rudy got but soon as we got done we had to leave to the big Mall for a couple of hours to have lunch at Pik and Pay.
