The principal and several school staff members left the community of Kipnuk in Southwest Alaska over the weekend in two chartered planes following reports of a banishment order, occupation of a school building and a brief blockade during a visit by Alaska State Troopers.
in Southwest Alaska
Kipnuk, with a population of around 700 people, sits on the Kugkaktlik River in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, about 85 air miles southwest of Bethel and near the Bering Sea coast. The population is primarily Yup’ik. “On October 28, 2022, a large group of people purportedly representing KTC entered and occupied the school building and refused to leave, greatly disrupting the educational environment in the school. Thereafter, tribal police attempted to enter LKSD teacher housing units,” the school district wrote.
Troopers then met with school personnel, ultimately determining “that no crimes had been committed.” They noted that no threats were made toward school staff, and that after informing the state district attorney’s office about the situation there have been no criminal charges issued for anyone involved.
