Storyteller's Club The Picture-Writing Women of the Arctic Loretta Outwater Cox
In the early 1920s of northwest Alaska, a handful of older Inupiat women have chosen to pass the darkest days of winter in good company. Having exchanged sealskins for indelible lead pencils at the trading post, the ladies of the Storyteller's Club gather in a sod home to talk, draw on scraps of brown paper, and sip tea. Each is a rare vessel holding a trove of stories--some given by her ancestors; others from within her lifetime.
Writing true stories from her own family history, author Loretta Outwater Cox carries on the storytelling traditions of her people. These are their stories...now given to you.
