Main characters

Sue Aikens – a 63-year-old (born July 1, 1963) woman and the sole resident of the Kavik river camp in northern Alaska. The camp is located directly adjacent to the Kavik River, 197 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Her motto is "If it hurts, don't think about it."

Chip and Agnes Hailstone – live with their seven children on the Kobuk River in Noorvik, 19 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Chip lived in Kalispell, Montana, before moving to Alaska. Agnes is Native Alaskan, an Inupiaq born in Noorvik, and is the one member of the cast who has spent their entire life in Alaska, as well as the longest-resident. She has family ties to the land that extend thousands of years and knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation. Although Agnes is more the focus of the Hailstones' segments, her whole family comes to the screen with her.
