In the vast and unforgiving wilderness of Alaska, where towering mountains meet icy seas, there lies a forgotten history—the story of the Unangan people.

For centuries, the Unangan people lived in harmony with the land, their rich culture intertwined with the rhythms of the natural world. But with the arrival of Russian fur traders in the 18th century, their way of life was forever altered.

In this captivating memoir, renowned author and adventurer Johnathan Waterman embarks on a solitary journey to retrace the footsteps of his ancestors, the Unangan people. Driven by a deep desire to honor their untold story, he ventures into remote villages, navigates treacherous waters, and uncovers the forgotten secrets of his heritage.

Along the way, Waterman encounters a cast of unforgettable characters—wise elders, resilient hunters, and enigmatic storytellers—who share their intimate knowledge of Unangan history and traditions. Through their stories, Waterman uncovers the truth behind the tragic events that decimated the Unangan population and the profound resilience that has allowed them to survive.
