David Nahom (right), commander, ANR, ALCOM and 11th AF, pose for a photo with Joseph Akpik , North Slope Borough elder, at Barrow High School in Utqiagvik, Alaska, Feb. 4, 2023. Kivgiq is an ancient Iñupiaq tradition, which unites North Slope communities in a celebration of Native dance and fellowship. Military members from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson visited Utqiagvik for a site visit of Point Barrow Long Range Radar Site, as well as to engage with the whaling community of Utqiagvik, whose welcoming and continued support of the military makes the Point Barrow mission possible.
