| | Alaska - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is bordered by Yukon Territory and British Columbia, Canada to the east, the Gulf of Alaska and the Pacific Ocean to the south, the Bering Sea, Bering Strait, and Chukchi Sea to the west, and the Beaufort Sea and the Arctic Ocean to the north. | | | After an early flirtatious period with liberal politics, the political climate of Alaska changed quickly once oil was discovered and the federal government came to be seen as 'meddling' in local affairs. | | | Notable is Alaska's relatively large Eastern Orthodox Christian population, a result of early Russian colonization and missionary work among indigenous Alaskans. |

| | Chicken is the home of the late Ann Purdy, whose book Tisha was based on her experiences as a young schoolteacher in the Bush. | | | Chicken got its name because the early settlers wanted to name their camp Ptarmigan, but didn't know how to spell it and settled instead for Chicken, the common name in the North for ptarmigan. | | | We found that the Taylor Highway, a gravel road which we had been dreading because everything we'd read made it sound like a horrible, dangerous road, was actually in much better shape than was the Top of the World Highway. |
