Children of the First People: Fresh Voices of Alaska's Native Kids

Today's Alaska Native children live in a world that balances ancient traditions with modern culture. In words and stunning photos, Children of the First People profiles ten boys and girls, each one representing a unique culture that has thrived in the far north for centuries.     The kids open up like Alaskan pen pals, sharing how they hunt and fish for healthy Native food, celebration with traditional dancing and drumming, and compete in the Eskimo-Indian games like nothing you've seen before. So different, perhaps, but still like kids all over who watch their favorite sports teams, shop for clothes online, and listen to new music.     No other book for children delves into all ten Alaska Native cultures with such authority or transports readers to the wild rivers, coastal islands, broad rainforest, and tundra expanses of Alaska     Released two years after Brown and Corral's critically acclaimed Children of the Midnight Sun, this new book introduces a new generation of terrific kids.
