Kantner evokes in these interconnected essays and photographs life on the Kobuk River on the Chukchi coast in northwest Alaska, a beautiful wild place, rich in resources, where he was raised by his Ohioan back-to-the-land, igloo-dwelling parents in the 1960s and where he still lives. Winner of the 2005 Whiting Writer's Award (he includes a chapter on his fish-out-of-water trip to New York), Kantner honors inupiat friends with stories, sharply drawn portraits and a lovingly conveyed feel for living close to the land.
