So Green began writing down his own stories--about his life, Native foods, legends, games, animal habits, even "rubbing nose kiss." Each of these authentic stories, written in Green's distinctive voice, offered delightful insight into his culture and times. Another notable Alaskan, George Aden Ahgupuk, added his pen-and-ink drawings, and the first edition of I AM ESKIMO was released in 1959, the same year that Alaska became a state. Today this collection is a classic, translated into other languages, excerpted in several textbooks, and collectible as the first title for the fledgling publishing company that would become Alaska Northwest Books. Ahgupuk's drawings are prized among collectors and the Anchorage Museum of History and Art's permanent collection.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 191mmItem Width: 5mmItem Weight: 182gAuthor: Paul GreenIllustrator: George Aden AhgupukContributor: George Aden Ahgupuk (Illustrated by), Abbe Abbott (With)Genre: Travel & TransportRelease Year: 2004 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
