Re: Books re Inuit [was How to handle bad behavior?]

From: Wanita Sears -- : There's an interesting book Touching Spirit Bear.

Fictional but based on restorative justice, circle sentencing in a U.S. court

system. Boy is banished to an island that one of circle's member's tribe used

for such purposes. Heartwarming story.

~~~ read a review of a book ' " The Winter Walk, " on Anchorage Daily News, [pub.

Oct. 24, 2003]... a true story handed down from daughter to daughter for more

than a century, the tale burdened each who learned it... a mother's desperate

act more than 100 years ago still haunts her descendants... although separated

by generations, each woman could imagine a long-ago winter, starvation and an

unbearable choice some would condemn while others would call the ultimate act of

love....

made my skin crawl just reading the review... I think you have to register now

to read it..
