Two Alaska Native villages, Pilot Station and Atqasuk, have restored bans on the sale and importation of alcohol after going wet for a few months.

The villages experienced a rise in public drunkenness, teen drinking, teen truancy, sexual assaults, vulgar CB chatter and drinking on the job.

Pilot Station went dry effective April 1. Atqasuk will go dry effective May 1.
