“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.
