There have been sightings of polar bears at the point and now they are being seen at Ilisagvik College. Its still a distance from my house. Nonetheless, the girls have been taking taxis home from practice just in case. If there was ever a polar bear in town, it would be promptly shot by someone. There is a long list of people that hunt these bears and a list of people that want to get a bear. Their fur is very warm and nice. (I really don't want to hear the fur is murder argument.) This is part of the Inupiat culture. They believe in a balance of nature. They never hunt more than they need and all parts are used or serve a purpose.
I will let you know if one gets closer to town!
