Ideal workbook for social studies classes teaching diversity

This workbook is an excellent introduction to the culture of the Inuit people of Alaska. It starts with a short description of their location, traditions, and a folk tale. This is followed by a set of stencils depicting the creatures of the Inuit mythology. They can be removed from the book and used to make trace drawings. It ends with a series of projects involving the making of traditional Inuit items. <br /> An ideal workbook for social studies classes teaching the diversity of world cultures, I strongly recommend it for late elementary and middle schools. It can also be used by children who just want to learn more about the Inuit. <br />Children discover and explore the rich heritage of ancient cultures around the world through fascinating myths, legends, festivals, and stories of the culture. Detailed maps and vivid illustrations show how various people lived and what they accomplished. Each book in this popular series contains five easy-to-do art projects- complete with unique punch-out stencils for making many of the traditional arts and crafts still produced today.

Excellent reading for anyone interested in Native Americans.

I have read this book many times and found it to be an outstanding collection of short stories about Native Alaskans' traditions, folklore and religion. The book contains many short stories that are centuries old. The author has done an excellent job of gathering these stories into a volume that incorporates beautiful drawings by Alaskan native George Aden Ahgupuk. I would recommend that anyone interested in Native Alaskan folklore obtain this book. The book continues to provide me with many hours of satisfaction. An excellent book 'written' by authors who will never be heard from again.An illustrated collection of over thirty tales and legends from the Alaska Eskimos.4853United States485419th Century486120th Century119614221st Century4867African Americans4868Civil War4869Colonial Period4870General4871Revolution & Founding14278871State & Local4808Americas9History1000Subjects283155Books11256Folklore & Mythology11232Social Sciences53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books3049241General2752Baby-34Children's Books1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksR33481G6D1C6T2Inupiaq shamans, detectives, storytellers080349324Xhttp://www.amazon.com/Alaskan-Magic-Romance-Theresa-Goldstrand/dp/080349324X%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D080349324X2278925Theresa GoldstrandHardcover813.54978080349324790080349324XAvalon BooksEnglishEnglishEnglish7502395USD$23.95Avalon Books1186Book1998-10-24Avalon BooksAvalon Books605401795USD$17.95186USD$1.861120011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnewq1HZ%2Bu4CWpgEUgh2MdbsnbERq5t%2FuIVmWI5n6EETqd%2Bx2w2lMP1Tk66d0G4hLLf2AU7fmOgSAx2DOn2BLXMCpA%3D%3D1795USD$17.95Usually ships in 24 hours5.011080349324X5121999-02-23

4 Contemporary Love Stories in Alaska with a Christian undertone

There are four different stories in this book about love, faith, and secrets. Each story is about 100 pages long so it is a quick and delightful read. If you don't like Christian literature, then this is not a book for you. <br /> <br />In the first book two strangers meet to find that their parents have fallen in love on a cruise ship and are now getting married. Both Victoria and Buck think their parents are acting irrationally and try to break them up. In addition, both of them have also turned their back on God. Do they break up the wedding? Do they find God? What is Victoria's secret about her son's husband? <br /> <br />The second story involves a young widow and how an aunt left her everything she owned in Alaska. Well after losing her husband she decided that moving to Alaska isn't such a bad idea. She meets her aunt's best friend and son. He shows her around Alaska and her inherited house and quilt shop. He is a confirmed bachelor and when Glorianna tells him about something her husband left her with he gets out of the picture fast. Meanwhile another guy will try to marry Glorianna. Will Trapper let Glorianna marry another man? What is her secret? What has her aunt planned all along? <br /> <br />The third storie involves a young woman named Tina who used to live in Alaska and is now returning with her terminally ill grandmother. She runs into her best friend from childhood, Hank. He offers to help her clean up her grandmother's house and gives her a place to stay. He is a lonely widower who wants children and a family. But trouble happens when Lucky, someone Tina knows from Chicago shows up and claims to be her fiance. Who is Lucky? Why is he with Tina? What will Hank do? <br /> <br />The fourth story involves Jackie who has lived in Alaska for 17 years and never married (that we know of). Her friends had met this new pilot and decided to try and set her up with him. Only problem is she already knows him, not only that she has a past with him. What is their past? Will they tell their friends? Or will they both leave Alaska in shame? Award-winning author Livingston blends the charm of an Alaskan setting, the love of quilts, and wholesome romance into four modern stories of faith and healing.1593105819159789989515931083701597891061159310672610466General10457Mystery18Mystery & Thrillers1000Subjects283155Books605116General18Mystery & Thrillers1000Subjects283155Books12331Fiction172806Literature & Fiction12290Christianity22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books332929011Mystery172806Literature & Fiction12290Christianity22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books332930011Romance172806Literature & Fiction12290Christianity22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books12498Mystery12489Fiction22Religion & Spirituality1000Subjects283155Books524200General13354Contemporary23Romance1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksR3LGDFI9SP9OD0My Favorite Christian Romances (Historical and Contemporary)RNA16S2WP6SNBheartsong novella collectionR30HIQS84ZHUWJMy favorite Christian RomancesRPPDK53N2XY78Would you like to Read Good Clean Christian Romance?0809103869http://www.amazon.com/Alaskan-Missionary-Spirituality-Sources-American/dp/0809103869%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D08091038692125456HardcoverMichael Oleksa281.979897808091038671000809103869Paulist PrEnglishEnglishEnglish9251895USD$18.95Paulist Pr1406Book1987-04Paulist PrPaulist Pr1506252995USD$29.958500USD$85.000610005.01108091038695112007-02-19

Wonderful and tasty home cooking

I am proud to say that my grandmother authored this book, filled with the food my family grew up on. I use the salmon and sourdough recipes regularly- try the sourdough hotcakes recipe for a Saturday morning tradition! Everything else in the book is very tasty, and accompanied by good information and explanations.
