An Exceptional Indigenous Alaskan Elders' Story
When food was in short supply, an Alaskan tribe exiled two elder women to their winter fate. The tribe expected that the women would starve and/or freeze to death. The tribe anticipated they were helping the tribe to survive without the two elder women. However, those 2 elders embodied years of experience and wisdom. This remarkable, highly readable story wisely shows the value of elders and women. Don't miss this exceptional, memorable read; it is not difficult reading, plus is authentic to the culture.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
