Having lived in Kotzebue, Alaska it was a revelation to see the old Kotz from a native perspective. This book is very well written and holds one's interest throughout. It is true and real and tells the story well. An amazing story of a boy who, given very few opportunities, made the most of them and became a man who served his people far beyond anyone's dreams. Highly recommend!
