BIRTHPLACE of the WINDS

By Katherine Norberg

He can't believe his own eyes. Who are these strange beings and what are they doing invading his hunting grounds? When Alidaq, a young Alaskan Aleut paddling his kayak on what he thinks is a routine hunting expedition after the wily sea otter, his belief system suffers a huge shock. It's 1743 for the rest of the world, but for the young man it's just the routine continuation of thousands of years of traditional survival in the Far North...until this unpredictable collision with the strangers changes his life forever. The reader who is not afraid of narration and facts will appreciate the tapestry pieced together of real events and personalities with the remarkable characters of this historical novel, from European contact through World War ll. Little is published about the Aleut culture; the curious reader will find this story informative, memorable, and even astonishing. While description and facts make up a significant part of this novel--it is partly a history book after all--the remarkable and little-known culture that is depicted makes for an exceptional and engrossing literary voyage though time.
