Maybe you got the exact toy you wanted for your birthday and you were really happy. Or your friend is sick and you feel sad. Or your little brother messed up your room, so you're really angry! Where do those feelings come from? Your brain, of course. Your brain has a little bunch of cells on each side called the amygdala (say: uh-MIG-duh-luh).
Kodiak Island. Kodiak Island (Alutiiq: Qikertaq, Russian: ÐºÐ°Ð´ÑÑÐºÑ) is a large island on the south coast of the U.S. state of Alaska, separated from the Alaska mainland by the Shelikof Strait.
Russian whalers and fur traders on Kodiak Island established the first settlement in Alaska in 1784. In 1867 United States Secretary of State William H. Seward offered Russia $7,200,000, or two cents per acre, for Alaska.
