As far back as he can remember, Willard Church Jr. has gone out ice fishing well into the month of April, chopping holes that were easily four feet deep into the Kanektok River near his home.
"I have travelled all over the region, going on 10-day hunting and fishing trips out in the mountains," he added. "We grew up in a time when winter was actual winter, when our elders remember snow drifts as high as the peaks of people's houses.
And travelling on the small planes that fly into the villages - weather permitting - is too expensive for most. "Right now we should be covered in snow... and we should be travelling by snow machine," said Warren Jones, head of Quinhagak's village corporation, as he looked out onto the flat, spongy tundra landscape that surrounds Quinhagak.
For village elders like Annie Cleveland, 78, the warming temperatures are not only affecting subsistence food but also centuries-old traditions that define native Alaskans and their culture.
