While celebrating his 21st birthday, Kevin Nayokpuk of Shishmaref was spotted by Denver Nuggets photographer Taylor Vincek in the stands, holding a sign that read “21st b-day from Alaska.”
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - An Alaska Native resident of Shishmaref received an unexpected gift in Denver, Colorado during a National Basketball Association game on Thursday. While celebrating his 21st birthday, Kevin Nayokpuk was spotted by Denver Nuggets photographer Taylor Vincek in the stands, holding a hand made sign that read “21st b-day from Alaska.”
Nayokpuk was shocked to learn that Vincek did in fact know of his small village in Shishmaref, Alaska — a small community on the northern side of the Seward Peninsula on the shores of the Chukchi Sea with just over. Even though she is from Anchorage, Vincek understood how difficult Outside travel can be. For rural Alaska, travel often includes a minimum of three to four flights.
