- Summary:
-
Printed in both Inupiat and English, this 32 page booklet recounts stories of native life in Buckland, Alaska. It is printed in large type and simply written; illustrations accompany each short narrative. Several stories are told by Evans Thomas who remembers his boyhood days as he fired a shotgun for the first time, shot his first seal, broke a reindeer to the harness, and hunted a wolf. One of his stories is particularly humorous as he tells of his father's efforts in learning how to stop a new motor boat. The intermeshing of traditional and new ways of life is particularly striking; the stories deal with seal, whale, and caribou hunting, dog teams and deer sleds, yet they also tell of using guns, telescopes, motorboats, and "snow-go" machines.
