Publisher's Note
Paul Tiulana was a Native American hunter, storyteller, craftsman, and traditional leader. Here, as told to Vivian Senungetuk, is the story of his childhood and youth on King Island, off the coast of Alaska, in the 1920s and 30s -- learning to hunt seals and polar bears, to respect his elders and the traditions of his people, and to survive in the harsh, beautiful Arctic region.

Industry Reviews
Gr 5-9 Through the voice of Paul Tiulana, who lived on King Island in the Bering Sea until 1956, readers get an inside view of what it was like growing up as an Inupiat in Alaska in the 1920s and `30s. In straightforward and refreshing prose, Tiulana tells of his upbringing and of his extended family's nurturing. The descriptions of learning to hunt, while to some might be graphic, are of interest due to the attitude of the hunters: respect for their prey. The black-and-white photographs of Father Hubbard, Arctic priest during the same period, provide a view of a time in this culture not often depicted. A biographical sketch of the photographer and an essay encouraging readers to write stories of their elders enrich this book. A longer version of it was published as A Place for Winter (CIRI Foundation, 1987). Although Jean Rogers's King Island Christmas (Mulberry, 1998) and Goodbye, My Island (Greenwillow, 1983; o.p.) present a view of life on this island, there is nothing quite like this title for the same age level.
