DOWNLOAD EBOOKIf you close your eyes and think about Alaska, what do you see? Eskimos and igloos? Mountains of snow? Polar bears and icebergs? Do you know that not all Alaskan natives are Eskimos? There are many different tribes of native peoples. Each has its own language and way of life. Many of these native peoples have been Orthodox Christians for over two hundred years. This is largely due to the missionary efforts of one man, St. Innocent of Alaska. He converted and baptized thousands of people into the Christian faith. He was a wonderful and godly man who lived a missionary life full of adventures that you would never dream of! Many people think that he is the greatest Christian missionary of all time!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Apostle of Alaska: The Story of William Duncan of Metlakahtla While touring in Southeastern Alaska, in 1903, I first heard of the remarkable story of Metlakahtla. When, in the following summer, the call of the North-land came upon me again, I hied myself to the beautiful village, to investigate what sounded like a veritable fairy tale. I was cordially received and entertained by Mr. William Duncan, and spent a most pleasant summer with him and his people. It was then I conceived the idea of becoming the historian of this interesting little nation, and the biographer of their wonderful leader. With this object in view, I have ever since spent all my vacation months in the little village, and, during the summer just past (1908), I wrote this book under the inspiring sky of Metlakahtla. During these summer months I have had the unspeakable pleasure, day after day, to listen to the interesting table-talks of Mr. Duncan, to witness him in his own inimitable dramatic style unrolling word-painting after word-painting of the many interesting incidents of his life-work and thrilling experiences. After each one of these interesting talks, I made it a point to write down his narrative, as nearly as possible in the identical language used by him, while everything he had said was still fresh in my memory.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe North Slope of Alaska is a distant place. It is set high above the Arctic Circle, far away from where most people would ever dream of making a life. This region is marked by treacherous conditions. There are harsh extremes and wild transitions. People have always lived there though. The Inupiat are an ancient culture. Their way of life has, for countless millennia, tied to the land and the water and the animals that live there. At no time during Inupiat history has a transition been as drastic and marked by tragedy as the turn of the 20th century. The white man was coming north. He piloted great ships, breaking the ice, coming to harvest the abundant whales, walrus, and other important animals. One day a ship appeared on the horizon. And then, in what seemed like the blink of an eye, a way of life was changed forever. Paul Patkotak was born in the midst of that transition. Disease was rampant. Starvation was common. Animals teetered on the brink of extinction. The ancestral ways were dying out. Somehow, he survived. Patkotak eventually became known across the North Slope and beyond as "The Apostle of the North." He was a man with a deep connection to God and was used by Him to perform many miracles. Not only is this Patkotak's story. This is the story of his people.
