An Easy History Lesson

This is a story about a modern age 13 year old boy in Unalaska who has a boat wreck and goes on an extraordinary journey. He is taken by a spirit elder back to the days when Unalaska was a Native Village, before the time of the Russian invasion. He learns the ways of his ancestors and why it is important to understand your culture's past to make a better future. He learns to respect the old ways rather then to think of them as weird or old fashioned. The boy learns to respect his grandfather's ways and learn from him. My class of third graders really enjoyed this story and were able to identify landmarks spoken of in the book, like the river behind the town, and the cliffs where the Eagles rest.
