The librarian at Fort Yukon

December 11, 1984

When parents made moosehide moccasins our children could walk to school, but now we need a school bus.

We are careful not to know where the border is.

My husband came back from the war and liked the quiet here.

Cold? - yes, but none of us could ever live anywhere else.

We don't have any crime in the streets - the bears, you know.
