Alaska Native Representative Bids for Senate Seat

Caroline Mktok Yook traveled hundreds of kilometers from the city of Nome on the shores of the Bering Sea in western Alaska to Anchorage.

The journey carried the heritage and aspirations of the indigenous peoples of Alaska, along with the challenges they face.

These issues returned to the forefront amid the ongoing electoral prospects of Democratic candidate Mary Peltola.

Peltola, who belongs to the indigenous communities of Alaska, continues her pursuit to win the state's senate seat.
