Episode Details

In a remote Alaskan village of just eleven people, a sudden land grab by the state has left residents freezing—literally—because they can no longer legally gather firewood to heat their homes. With no designated harvesting zones, no access routes, and missed hunting permit deadlines, Wiseman’s survival hinges on a bureaucratic mess that locals say was years in the making. While politicians tout the land transfer as progress, for Wiseman’s residents, it’s a devastating blow to their way of life—and a stark reminder that big plans often ignore the people living in the ground they’re trying to reshape.
