The retreat of the Bear Glacier, near Stewart, British Columbia, transformed a stream below it into a haven for salmon.

Friday on Alaska News Nightly:

Salmon and mining advocates alike are looking to opportunities created by melting glaciers. Plus, with the state facing a teacher shortage, many school districts are recruiting from the Philippines. And new technology is helping subsistence hunters in Quinhagak monitor ocean conditions.

Reports tonight from:

Shelby Herbert in Fairbanks
Rachel Cassandra in Anchorage
Liz Rusin in Washington D.C.
Brian Venua in Kodiak
Evan Erickson in Bethel
