A half century ago, Inupiat Eskimo Paul Green was dismayed by a
writer who arrived in his village, stayed briefly, then flew home
to print nonsense. So Green began writing down his own
stories--about his life, Native foods, legends, games, animal
habits, even "rubbing nose kiss." Each of these authentic stories,
written in Green's distinctive voice, offered delightful insight
into his culture and times. Another notable Alaskan, George Aden
Ahgupuk, added his pen-and-ink drawings, and the first edition of I
AM ESKIMO was released in 1959, the same year that Alaska became a
state. Today this collection is a classic, translated into other
languages, excerpted in several textbooks, and collectible as the
first title for the fledgling publishing company that would become
Alaska Northwest Books. Ahgupuk's drawings are prized among
collectors and the Anchorage Museum of History and Art's permanent
collection.
