The teenager, identified by a relative as Derek Parker Aghnaanga, was found alive on Monday near St. Lawrence Island, a remote Alaskan island located closer to Russia than mainland United States, AP reported.
His older brother, 35-year-old Sidney Kulowiyi, and their cousin also went missing after the boat overturned. Their bodies were later recovered.
