Bethel Alaska. May 1988.

Kodachrome 64 Transparency. Minolta SRT 101 or 100.

Text from previous post:
Swanson's, a Bethel retail institution, had groceries, dry-goods, hardware, clothing, electronics, lumber, fishing gear, Native arts and crafts; you name it. Sort of a Bush Walmart before the latter ever existed. One of two such places in Bethel, the other being the ACC (Alaska Commercial Company).

Much more than shopping places, also cultural institutions and gathering places for locals and relatives traveling in from the villages. Bethel is a regional hub serving at least 56 Yup'ik (Eskimo) villages covering an area larger than most US states (I'm guessing). People arrive by boat, by small commuter airplane and in the wintertime by ice road and snowmachine. It's an extremely dynamic and interesting place.

As a tourist destination it is not for the timid and would shatter many a perception or stereotype one might have about a fantasy world called "Alaska."

A lone grave at Cape Etolin, Nunivak Island, Alaska at the edge of the Bering Sea.
February 1995

Based on the presence of the enamel-steel pot, probably a woman's grave.
