Book
Raising ourselves : a Gwich'in coming of age story from the Yukon River / Velma Wallis.
Born in 1960, the sixth of thirteen children, Velma Wallis comes of age in a two-room log cabin in remote Fort Yukon, Alaska. Raising Ourselves is an irresistible story of growing up Gwich'in. It is gritty and sobering yet filled with laughter. But hope pushes back hopelessness, and a new strength and wisdom emerge.
