Galena, AK - Residents of the village of Galena, Alaska, gather in the Galena High School gym for the annual Welcome Back to Galena potlatch dinner, Sept. 6. Everyone in town was invited to come to the event, including volunteers and workers involved in the village’s flood recovery efforts. In late may of this year, huge sheets of ice clogged the Yukon River downstream from Galena. The river's water rapidly rose and breeched its banks, flooding the town, destroying homes, and leaving months of recovery work behind when the waters receded.
