A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words


This picture is of me, Priscilla, a.k.a. Onna, and Elizabeth, a.k.a. Gibbis. It was taken on June 1st, 2008 in Chuathbaluk, AK.
We were just bored, (there’s nothing much to do here), and we were ‘playing dress up’. She is the Eskimo and I’m the Indian hippie. Don’t laugh.
Anyways, have you ever read Bird Girl and the Man Who Followed the Sun? It’s about native tribes in Alaska, before the white man came, when the Indians and the Eskimos were enemies and killed each other all the time.
I think this picture, in some way, shows that there’s peace between the Indians and the Eskimos. It makes me feel happy that racial prejudice is not as big an issue anymore
