Extraordinary new work from Joan Naviyuk Kane. I always learn something from her poems, always. No matter how many times I read the lines. So dense, so intelligent, so kinetic.

The city of Anchorage is preparing to welcome up to 2,000 people displaced by the catastrophic storm that hit Western Alaska on Sunday. Mayor Suzanne LaFrance said she expects many will stay through the winter.

Congratulations to Holly Miowak Guise whose book ALASKA NATIVE RESILIENCE won three book awards from the Western History Association! #WHA2025 @hollyguise.bsky.social

Here's how you can help survivors of the Western Alaska storm:

The big need for folks is going to be winter gear - coats, snopants, boots, etc. and don't forget the kids too. Remember, many many families lost EVERYTHING. The City of Bethel is gearing up for an influx of maybe hundreds of people evacuated from the impacted villages.

UPDATED: One woman has been found dead in the village of Kwigillingok, where another two people remain unaccounted for, after a devastating storm battered Western Alaska over the weekend.

Senator Lyman Hoffman reporting 50% of Kipnuks utility poles are broken in half, and the runway has a crack right in the middle of it.

If you're able, please consider a donation to the Alaska Community Fund to help people in western Alaska impacted by ex-typhoon Halong even as winter is bearing down. All the money donated goes to the region. Quyana. #Alaska #AlaskaSky alaskacf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c...

Martin is on the money.

From accounts with relatives from Kipnuk, the village is a total loss. One of my Elder relatives says it's wiped out. Those rectangular dots in the distance? Houses floating away

Some residents are reportedly unaccounted for or trapped in houses as a major storm brings high water and winds to some Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta communities. The storm is expected to move north and continue into Monday.

The center of ex-typhoon Halong reached the Seward Peninsula coast near or just east of Cape Nome around 830am AKDT Sunday. South winds 30 to 60 mph in southern/eastern Norton Sound will shift to the southwest soon. #akwx #weather @hanners64n.bsky.social @climatologist49.bsky.social

updates for kipnuk several houses are gone and more continue to float away from the village hope help arrives soon

someone in a kipnuk facebook group screen recorded all the pleas for help in the community due to the disaster flooding hopefully the alaska national guard will make it out there soon

2/2 Thru 730am AKDT peak winds at airports include 100 mph at Tooksok Bay, 84 mph at Tununak, 81 mph at Kotlik, 76 mph at Bethel and 74 mph at Chevak. However, power outages mean no observations from some communities. Winds over 60 mph also occurring well inland. #akwx #weather
