Two connected narratives describe different generations of one native Alaskan family. "Nutaaq's Story (1917)" details a girl's devastation when first her sister marries a foreigner and moves away, and later, when her remaining family dies during a flu epidemic. "Blessing's Story (1989)" depicts a family ravaged by neglect and estrangement-and healed by memory and tradition.
