Fourteen MA students and three faculty members
traveled to Chukotka, Russia in August of 2003. The students divided into
two groups with the first, led by DANRD director Gordon Pullar visiting the
Chukchi village of Lorino while the second, led by Professor Mike Davis,
went to New Chaplino, a Siberian Yupik village. While in the two villages
the students facilitated community planning sessions with the villagers utilizing
the “Healthy Community” process developed by former faculty member Larry
Dickerson. The travel was made possible by a grant from the National Park
Service Beringia Program.
