Akutan Story

What if you could freeze an unforgettable year and go back and visit the people and experiences any time you wanted? The school year 1978-1979 is just such a year. We lived in the small village of Akutan, located in the isolated Fox Islands in the Aleutian Chain of Alaska. As we taught Aleut children in grades 1-12 in the small one room school, and visited the elders, on this island with an active volcano, our lives were changed. Luke Shelikoff, the last Aleut Chief, deserves such immortality, for his "Williwaws of Wisdom" to help and encourage future generations.
