Mike Dunham moved to Quinhagak, Alaska, on the Bering Sea, with
his parents in 1955, when he was 4 years old. He has since lived and
worked in Mountain Village, Togiak, Afognak, Homer, Haines, Kodiak,
Kenai, Seward and Cordova-but mostly in Anchorage, where he is the
Arts and Entertainment editor for the Anchorage Daily News. He
has won numerous regional and national awards for articles on travel,
art, education, food, history and humor, as well as for his work in
radio. Outside Alaska he has written for publications ranging from
Orion magazine to Opera News. He is among the editors of
the University of Alaska's recent "Grammar of Central Alaskan
Yupik, an Eskimoan Language" and suspects that he is the only
non-Alaska Native in the world who has to divulge on his tax returns
how much money he makes as an Eskimo dancer.
