Reviews

"There are only a handful of people on this planet who could write a book like this one. X̱'unei Lance Twitchell's is a voice of healing, one that shows us what is possible, one that provides for the next generation a sense of history and connection, plus a sense of freedom. The kids will use cell phones and will carve cedar. There's no contradiction there. They are citizens of this moment as well as descendants of thousands of generations of people who lived and loved in Lingít Aaní."
--Peggy Shumaker, University of Alaska Fairbanks
