Download or read book Invariable Snow for the Eskimo written by B. Johnny Way and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From his birth in August of 1956 until early 1960, author B. Johnny Way lived a pretty normal life, during which time he tried his best to understand the simplest of childhood complexities. And then, somewhere around his fourth birthday, he began to change. In Invariable Snow for the Eskimo, Way shares the account of his early life that included living for almost twenty-four months on Kodiak Island. Way narrates a variety of adventures and experiences including the joys of slicing and gliding around on a huge sheet of ice atop a frozen Alaskan lake, witnessing firsthand the larger-than-life, scary-looking sea creatures from the icy-cold waters of the Gulf of Alaska, and fishing for sockeye salmon in one of the many streams and rivers of Alaska with his homemade fishing pole, made from the wood of a kids toy kite. Invariable Snow for the Eskimo discusses how, Way, as a youngster, quickly learned that helping others was more advantageous and rewarding than first thought and that sharing your time, patience, and knowledge with friends as well as strangers is better than any other kind of reward.

Download or read book The Last Light Breaking written by Nick Jans and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From his home in remote Eskimo Village, Nick Jans leads us into a vast, magical world: Alaska's Brooks Range. Drawn from fourteen years of arctic experience, The Last Light Breaking offers a rare perspective on America's last great wilderness and its people--the Inupiat Natives, an ancient culture on the cusp of change. Making a poignant connection between the world he describes and the world of the Inupiat once knew, Nick Jans invokes with stunning power, the life of the Eskimos in the harsh arctic and the mystical aura of the wilderness of the far North. With the eye of an outdoorsman and the heart of a poet, Jans weaves together these 23 essays with strands of native American narrative, making vivid a place where wolves and grizzlies still roam free, hunters follow the caribou, and old women cast their nets in the dust as they have for countless generations. But looming on the horizon is the world of roads and modern technology; the future has already arrived in the form of stop signs, computers, and satellite dishes. Jans creates unforgettable images of a proud people facing an uncertain future, and of his own journey through this haunting timeless landscape.

Download or read book A Glimpse from Aapa written by Tariek Oviuk and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begins in the small rural Alaskan Inupiaq Eskimo village of Point Hope, or Tikigaq. Kirk Oviok, otherwise known as Tigluk, along with his wife Rosemary- find themselves and their ancient village amidst rapid change and a relocation process of the town of 300 residents. Not long removed in its history when the population was threatened by an atomic blast near North America's oldest continually inhabited settlement, the locals had learned how to adapt as they always had been used to- the Oviok family were no different in that regard. In 1981, the elderly couple intervened their daughter Alice's plans involving her newly born son, Qalayuaq, when they orchestrated a plan which would accompany an eventual adoption of him. Brought forth during a period when it became rare to perform the ancient tradition and passing on of namesake's and Inupiaq prophecy involving newborns, those rituals were still holding on by threads- in particular, with a local elder- Aviq, who performed one such custom for the newborn baby boy. Qalayuaq, an Inupiaq name stemming from within the family throughout history, was the name which she passed on to the boy- he would immediately be saturated with everything consisting of the Tikigaq tribe and its traditions that had remained vibrant since time immemorial, much-needed ingredients to help nurture parts of that very prophecy. However, a life of its own still needed to be had. And, what seemed like living two worlds in one, his early stage years involved straying off of the path which both his grandparents (or Aapa and Aaka) as well as the community taught him throughout childhood- eventually spiraling to a childhood of ignorant disobedience, and finally a lack of any value system in his life altogether, in part because of his circumstances. This heartwarming story involves a tale of a good old American-Eskimo Old Yeller classic! Follow the insights of the Eskimo life north into the Arctic Circle, where this first of a three-part series unfolds and brings to you a variety of roller-coaster rides of a young boy and a small community and it experience of laughs, loneliness, worries, curiosities, sadness, joys, and perseverance!
