Trying to put information into a comprehensive plan. Arts and crafts is one issue. The region has a large arts and crafts cottage industry, particularly in Savoonga, Gambell, Shishmaref, Diomede, Wales and Nome. There are large amounts of fossilized ivory on St. Lawrence. South of Nome, arts and crafts are less prominent, although there is some activity in Unalakleet.
Human development is another issue.
Norm Stadem is working with an ad hoc theater group. Took a local story and put it on the stage. He is working with Teller to develop a theater and accompanying barbecue presentation. Plant in Teller is waiting for final funding. There are several plants in Nome.
