Sustainable Northern Shelter: Atmautluak is the story of a community with a mission to build energy-efficient homes designed for their unique tundra environment and that reflect their life style. The Yup'ik community of Atmautluak is located in Southwest Alaska.
The film invites viewers to see what is possible in a rural Alaska village when people unite to address a critical need for sustainable housing. Working together in a unique partnership with the Cold Climate Housing Research Center (CCHRC), the community created their own construction company, trained workers and built two energy-efficient homes. For more information about the project visit cchrc.org/atmautluak.
