Fairbanks, AK – Large and persistent wildfires have swept Interior Alaska for the last two years. Some researchers see a link between these record-breaking fires and climate changes taking place around the globe. Today we begin a new series produced by high school students in the rural Alaskan village of Huslia. In today's episode, LeAnn Bifelt talks with community elders about their changing landscape and the appearance of new birds into the area.
