Natives of the Midnight Sun

1999
Natives of the Midnight Sun web-site is a comprehensive account of life in Alaska through the eyes of its people. It covers the land, geology, bush life, environmental problems, flora & fauna, food, maps, traditions, and history of Alaska. One of its most uniques features is the personal audio interviews of several Alaska Natives. Constructed by two Alaska schools from different districts that are seperated by 500 miles, information was gathered by students and colloborated through computer networking, e-mail, internet, and telephone. Students also traveled back and forth to each others schools three times through the use of an airplane where several days were spent planning, creating, and enjoying the surrounding people and land.
