Children play in the snow Saturday in Toksook Bay, Alaska. The first Americans to be counted in the 2020 census starting Tuesday live in this Bering Sea coastal village. The census traditionally begins earlier in Alaska than the rest of the nation because frozen ground allows easier access for census workers, and rural Alaska will scatter with the spring thaw to traditional hunting and fishing grounds.
