Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Alaskan favorite Children of the Midnight Sun, the same author and photographer join again to collaborate on this new book Children of the First People to present the voices of a new generation of young Alaska Natives and how they celebrate their unique cultures and traditions.

From the Southeast rainforest to the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta tundra, to the reaches of the far north, Alaska Native kids live a life that mixes ancient traditions with modern culture. Inside this book you’ll find ten profiles accompanied by beautiful color photographs of kids of various ages and from diverse cultures and backgrounds, as well as a map and a glossary of Native terms. No other book for children delves into all ten Native cultures with expert authority, making Children of the First People a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Award-winning journalist, writer, editor, and program and book developer Tricia Brown has been nationally honored for compassionate, insightful depictions of Alaska Natives and for children's literature. She was the founding editor of Heartland, the Sunday magazine of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, and later wrote for the Anchorage Daily News and edited the popular monthly magazine Alaska. She is also the author of Children of the Midnight Sun. Brown lives in Anchorage, Alaska. Roy Corral is the photographer of several books, including My Denali, A Child’s Glacier Bay, and Children of the Midnight Sun. He lives in Eagle River, Alaska.
