CLOSER LOOK – Lou Logan (Inupiaq) this afternoon gets a close look at the SJ Museum’s Seward Peninsula Kayak, which was collected by Sheldon Jackson himself and has been on display since 1895. Logan, a quyaq (kayak) builder, is in town from Juneau on a Museums Alaska grant to take measurements and photographs, consult object records at the museum, and find inspiration for his own work. He gave a talk titled “Building the Inupiaq Qayak” this afternoon to a standing room only audience at the museum. (Sentinel Photo by James Poulson)

Thanks to the generosity and expertise of the the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska broadband department, Tidal Network ; Christopher Cropley, director of Tidal Network; and Luke Johnson, Tidal Network technician, SitkaSentinel.com is again being updated. Tidal Network has been working tirelessly to install Starlink satellite equipment for city and other critical institutions, including the Sentinel, following the sudden breakage of GCI's fiberoptic cable on August 29, which left most of Sitka without internet or phone connections. CCTHITA's public-spirited response to the emergency is inspiring.
