"The main strength of Strickland's book is that after the author's introductions, the portraits come from the individuals themselves. Strickland's lead-ins give readers, especially non-Alaskans, a context for understanding the speaker." - Diane Raab, Juneau Empire, November 12, 1992.

"A convincing portrait of what Alaska looks like in the eyes of its people." - Debbie Carter, Fairbanks Daily News Miner, November 8, 1992.
