About this book

Cold River Spirits: The Legacy of an Athabascan-Irish Family from Alaska's Yukon River by Jan Harper-Haines. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780945397854.

This is an inspirational and deeply moving story of a proud Alaska Indian family struggling to survive in two worlds. Sam and Louise Harper and their ten children make a soul-grinding transition into a modern white-dominated society where they face bigotry, poverty, and illness. Yet, Louise remains in touch with centuries-old traditions of healing, honoring natures spirits, and a belief that the spirits of all Athabascans one day will return to the headquarters of the Yukon River.
