These pictures depict seasonal hunting cabins built by the native Iñupiat inhabitants of Barrow, Alaska. The cabins are situated at the Northern most stretch of the United States, along the shores of the Chukchi Sea, part of the larger Artic Ocean. Iñupiat families travel from Barrow to the cabins to hunt for waterfowl in the summer and seals in the fall. –Artist statement
