Paddling down the</p><p>Tanana and into the great Yukon River, they leave their known world</p><p>behind. Five months later, they portage a hundred miles across muskeg</p><p>and icing ponds to the Kuskokwim River where they battle shifting ice</p><p>into the little town of Bethel near the Bering Sea. Along the journey</p><p>they encounter Native villages and isolated settlements, learning from</p><p>experience and the kindness of strangers. Connie's honest and lyrical</p><p>voice depicts a changing Alaska and its endangered people during a</p><p>pivotal moment in history. </p>
