“This wonderful book gives the reader a glimpse into the cultural
soul of the Alaska Native people, revealing how culture is very
much alive and traditions are thriving.” — Margaret
Nelson, Tlingit, Eagle moiety, President and CEO Alaska Native
Heritage Center As Alaska’s Native peoples confront contemporary
challenges, they increasingly find strength in the traditional
values and practices that have sustained their cultures for
millennia. In stirring words, What the Elders Have Taught
Us pays tribute to the first Alaskans and the ancient values
they consider paramount. Ten essayists, one from each of
Alaska’s diverse Native cultures, were asked to write about a
specific value that is common to all, lessons that have been part
of their oral teachings for countless generations. The resulting
essays are infused with personal reflection as well as profound
truths. Featuring Roy Corral’s outstanding
photography, What the Elders Have Taught Us offers rare
insight into the lives of Alaska’s First People—at work and
play, in celebration and sorrow—living out the legacy handed down
by the elders.
