Over 25 years ago, Elaine Shea went to Alaska to serve as an early childhood federal reviewer visiting American Indian, and Alaska Native Head Start villages. To get around, she relied on Alaska bush planes, dog sleds, 3-wheelers, and snow machines once she crossed the Arctic Circle to get to the US's 50th state. Vivid imagery fills these 50 vignettes and poems about Alaska's culture and natives, seen through the sensitive lens of an esteemed American poet from Montana. Elaine captures the people, places, and experiences of her time. We are off to Quinhagak; maybe caribou on the Kuskokwim River, frozen fish camps, criss-cross snow machine tracks, eel hookers, skin boats, and tundra designs lead us to the ocean. Travel with Elaine as she explores America's Last Frontier and other native lands in the US through her beautiful memoir of place, time, and people.
