"Sometimes it's struggle, strife, fathers, sons, brothers, wives,
but we're making our way, and yes we'll stay right here
on Alaska, the Last Frontier!"

Akiak is most easily described as free spirit, untamed, held back by nothing. His heart belongs to the wilderness that is his state, and his lifestyle revolves entirely around it; his tribes anchor him to his native roots, his isolation has taught him to fend for himself, and his vast and dangerous terrain has made him hardworking and alert. But if you're worried about this intimidatingly tall and quiet man's - ahem - close-mindedness to Russia, don't; even his volcanoes play some part in making who he is, and give him what some will come to know and love as the warm, hospitable truth behind his cold exterior.
