VOICE TWO:
Alaska has fewer people per square kilometer than any other state.But the population has been growing.The most recent estimate from the Census Bureau shows there were six hundred seventy thousand people last year.
Most Alaskans live in central and southern Alaska.The climate is more moderate compared to the north and there is more daylight during winter.
Alaska's largest city is Anchorage,with about two hundred eighty thousand people.Fairbanks and Juneau,the capital,have about thirty thousand each.
The Alaska Native Heritage Center says Alaska Natives represent about sixteen percent of the state population.The Heritage Center says eleven native Alaskan cultures and twenty languages survive today.

VOICE ONE:
Sled dogs are an important part of the history of Alaska.For many,many winters,sleds pulled by dogs provided the only transportation across the frozen territory.
Dog sled drivers are called mushers.The early ones in some cases even used wolves to pull their sleds.
Mushers and their dogs carried mail,food and other supplies to miners after the rivers were frozen and boat travel was blocked.Sometimes the sleds carried the miners' gold on the return trip.
In nineteen twenty-five,heavy snows blocked all the roads into the city of Nome.A serious disease,diphtheria,was spreading among children there.The nearest medicine was in Anchorage.Twenty dog sled teams took part in getting the medicine from Anchorage to Nome.They got it there in five and a half days.
Even as airplanes and snowmobiles came to replace dog sleds,that event has never been forgotten.
VOICE TWO:
A musher and his dog team in the 2005 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race
In March of each year,the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is held in Alaska.Organizers wanted to create an event that would preserve the memory of dog sleds.They chose a race over what had been the Iditarod Trail,one of the paths traveled by dog sleds.
The race from Anchorage to Nome,on the Bering Sea coast,is more than one thousand eight hundred fifty kilometers long.The first one took place in nineteen seventy-three.
The mushers travel from one rest area to another,much the same way mushers did many years ago as they took supplies to the miners.But the modern sleds travel much faster.
