ANDREW SAGE

“The first time I went out whaling I was 8. I am 12. I have been on the [whaling] crew since birth. I am a part of the Akootchook Crew. My favorite part about whaling is watching and learning. I just sit and watch.”

IAI. Do you have a mentor or someone you look too when you’re out whaling?

“Yes, my uncle. Kirby Sage.” — Andrew Sage is Inupiaq and lives in Utqiagvik, Alaska.
