He noted many aspects of the trip that he attributed to climate change.  He has been on a personal journey to recognize and document native ways of knowing about their ecological basis for existence in polar areas, including "technological" improvements to kayaks and other traditional ways of travel.  I recently found the diary of his Inuit Passage journey by doing a search that involved his name, Bethel AK (where he lives and coordinates an internet access organization for remote communities), and the word "qayaq".  Sorry I don't have the exact url on hand.
