	Every year around the Fourth of July, villagers living in Point Lay intercept a group of some 3000 beluga whales and herd a small portion of them into nearby Kasegaluk Lagoon where, in a single day, they gather food to last an entire year. The beluga are beached on a long sand spit across from the village. Then, the entire community comes to participate in the butchering.
