Purvis (formerly, Alaska Pacific Univ.) pays close and sympathetic attention to the rising voices of the Alaska Native Brotherhood and Alaska Native Sisterhood. Attention to women's activities is refreshing and important. This well-written book is an eye-opening look into a multiethnic world hitherto imagined but insufficiently described.\"—B. M.
