A cultural anthropologist from California, Wolfe spent twenty years in Alaska documenting the traditional hunting and fishing practices of Alaska Natives and discovered much about sustainable relationships between people and nature. With these thought-provoking essays contrasting California and Alaska - worlds far apart yet connected by peoples, cultural traditions, and ecology - he challenges readers to reflect on their own personal conduct within nature and our multicultural world.
