Cassidy Kramer

Cassidy Miligruak Kramer was raised 30 miles above the Arctic Circle in Kotzebue, a hub village on the northwestern coast of Alaska. She is an Inuk and grew up with a blend of traditional Iñuit and modern practices. Since early childhood, she has learned to hunt, fish, trap and gather from land and sea and shares her catch with families in her community. She is passionate about the continuation of the Iñupiat cultural way of life and has already seen evidence of changes in her environment due to global warming.
