It is the home of author Alan, his wife, Helen, and son, Wayne's family.
The telling of this story is a collaborative family effort. Rachel, Tatiana's descendant, was raised in Qeghnilen country during the days of dog teams and kerosene lamps. Her wedding ceremony was held on Tatiana and Tazdlin's dipping rock. Alan has been the wordsmith, combining Rachel's input, Helen's memories, Grandpa Pete's lore, brother William's insight, and fifty years of personal experience in the Alaska Bush. The beautiful woman on the cover is Andrea, also Tatiana's descendant. She edited and did the professional transcription of the Dena'ina language.view less
