Alaska natives of the Aleutian Islands.  Aleuts who lived in Unalaska on the Bering Sea.  A children's book where Carl, a young Alaskan boy, learns about his past in a most unique way.  He is taken on an adventure of a lifetime which changes his life forever.

IT ALL HAPPENED WHEN THE SHAMAN OF CARL'S LONG AGO PAST CALLED OUT TO THE GREAT EAGLE SPIRIT FOR HIS HELP IN RE-UNITING HIS ANCIENT WORLD WITH CARL'S MODERN WORLD TODAY.

         Hear us Great Eagle Spirit.   

Whe   When we first came to the islands

         you were here to guide and

         keep our people together.

         Those who came after

         always called upon us and

         followed our ways, and we

         were there to help them.

         Now the people no longer

         talk to us and we hear

         no more from them.

         We are alone and want

  to be one once again.

         We have no where to turn.

         Our past has lost hold of the future

         and we Unangan call upon you 

         Great Eagle Spirit to

         unite our people.

         Hear our plea and

         give back to us

         that which we lost.

          THE GREAT EAGLE SPIRIT ANSWERS THE SHAMAN

         We eagles were on the Aleutian islands

         when you Unangan first arrived

         thousands of years ago.

         You took our spirit

         as your own and we became one.

         You asked us to lead you

         on your journey.

         We listened and wove the thread

         that tied one generation to the next.

         Your Shamans say we were sacred

         and so we were.

         As the years crossed the sky

         the Unangan who came after

         no long longer asked you for guidance

         and stopped singing and dancing

         for you and your proud beginnings

         faded from memory.

         I hear your pleas

         and can no longer wait

         for a rebirth of what was.     

         It is time for Unangan

         of the future

         to meet their ancestors

         of the past.
