the seward peninsula has several rivers. the rivers are important to the people who live there for several reasons. one reason is that they can catch fish to eat in them. another reason is that they can travel by boat since there no roads. that way they can get to other towns on the river or to places where there are animals to hunt. finding food is important there because there are not a lot of stores and it costs a lot of money to take food that far in an airplane or boat. the rivers freeze in the wintertime.
