Alaska is a big place with very different climates places like Katchakan and Anchorage are about as different than Norway and Spain. in Anchorage having engine heaters you had to plugin in your car was one of the weird ones. People are inclusive and exclusive at the same time. if you are part of the community. People pull together and your neighbors will share extra salmon they have but if you are an outsider coming in it takes a while before they stop being actively hostile towards you.
