An Inupiat community in far northern Alaska is mourning the deaths of two whale hunters who died when their boat capsized while they were towing a bowhead whale home to help feed residents. Pausauraq Jana Harcharek, a relative of one of the hunters, couldn't bring herself to watch. In this Oct. 7, 2014 file photo, a man hauls whale blubber as a bowhead whale is butchered near Utqiagvik, Alaska. Two hunters died while towing a whale home last week. Representatives of the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission did not respond to numerous requests for comment.
