Photographs by
Roy Corral.
In her survey of children from eight different Alaskan Native groups, Brown focuses not on "customs," but on daily life, with a welcome dollop of history that gives the portraits depth and context. The tone is upbeat and tourist-friendly, but the kids are distinct, and Corral's many sharp color photos reveal both people and place unguarded. A good clear map is included. Bib., glos.
