MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2002 A 78-year-old Alaska Native elder recently rescued a 7-year-old boy from a river, The Anchorage Daily News reports. Mike Uttereyuk saw that Marcus Kaganak was floating away on the Kun River, which empties into the Bering Sea. So Uttereyuk got in a small aluminum rowboat to save the boy. But Uttereyuk couldn't fit the boy on the small rowboat. So he wrapped a line under Kaganak and held it in his teeth as he rowed back to shore. Kaganak was not hurt. Uttereyuk's teeth are doing fine.
