Book excerpt: Kwethluk: six hundred miles from the nearest highway, fifty-below winters, generator electricity, no running water (except in the school and teacher housing), no doctors, no dentists, no veterinarians, no restaurants, no malls nor movie theaters. Here, we�d begin our teaching assignments for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, white people�kass�aqs�working for those who in another time and place had helped to kill Crazy Horse and Geronimo for their lands. But this time, to paraphrase the BIA�s official mission, we�d come with a cavalry of books to save the natives from themselves.
