Great people sharing memories, in English and Eskimo!!!!

This if a wonderful print of the families that once lived on King Island, Alaska. The stories and pictures presented can't be found anywhere else. This collection of memories and legends are printed in English on the left side, and in Eskimo on the right side of the book. Reading these stories gives one the ideas of how they lived, the great oral tradition, and how the language of the King Islanders look on paper. In the back are the original King Island family names, with the original pronunciations. This is a really good book!! (for kids and parents). I just wish that there were more of the stories and more of the pictures.
