Bear Ping!
Horrible. You would think Alaska would have their bear population under control, so a polar bear doesn’t go where people are.
I’ve spent some time in Wales over the years, it is one of the villages in Alaska where you can see Russia from your house. My times there were spent with a family of reindeer herders with the same last name as the child who was killed. Wales is a very small village on the north west coast of the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. One trip I was there in winter and rented a snow machine to go out in the country to retrieve reindeer radio/satellite collars. My armed herder escort had the same name as the child. He had asked my where was my weapon, and I responded, that’s what I’m depending on you for. Sadly he passed a few years after that trip. Wales is a hard living kind of place. A small airstrip and a daily mail run plane if the weather permits to get in or out. Gotta respect those that live there.
