Who's Who
B and S - that's us, the authors. We're living here in the Alaskan bush for the 2009-2010 school year, teaching in the village school. B teaches Special Ed and S has a 50/50 Elementary and Special Ed position. Most of the time we live in Portland, OR.
OFL - our principal, also knows as Our Fearless Leader. Lives next to the school. Has a dog team, three rabbits, and several chickens. Looks good on an ATV.
K - OFL's wife and a teacher at the school.
E - our next-door neighbor and fellow teacher (HS Math). Hails from Minnesota. Friendly and funny.
H and G - down the hall neighbors. H teaches next door to me and G is from a nearby village.
Athol - the nearest "city" (pop. 6,000), home to our district office. We landed there first and will be returning sporadically during the year for inservice days.
The Village - where we live. About 350 people. On the coast of the Bering Sea.

Wow, that was a great half hour. We were wondering how you felt about wolverine and beaver and icelandic sheep wool being stitched into an article of clothing. It was a very interesting interview!! Looking forward to the conclusion.
ReplyDeleteWe wouldn't use animals to make clothes and I think fur is really not OK when wore by city folks but it's a different thing out here. People have a greater need- particularly the native people - to use the resources at hand. Our Fearless Leader may not need to use wolverine, for instance, but it's a local animal (like the beaver but not the sheep) that has been used in this way for a long time.
