Mary Kailukiak fishes for tomcod and smolt on the Bering Sea on January 18, 2020, near Toksook Bay, Alaska. The first Americans to be counted in the 2020 census, started on January 21, live in this Bering Sea coastal village. The census traditionally begins earlier in Alaska than in the rest of the nation because frozen ground allows easier access for census workers, and rural Alaska will scatter with the spring thaw to traditional hunting and fishing grounds. #
