Paperback. Condition: Good. Young Claire Fejes was a promising sculptor and painter in New York City when her husband gave in to gold fever. She held the unconventional view that her career was as important as his. But in those days, a woman followed her husband, so Claire did--to Fairbanks, last stop on the Alaska Railroad, in the heart of the immense northern territory, where Joe Fejes intended to mine for gold. In a refreshingly candid memoir, Claire describes a remote outpost where the young couple joins a hard breed of Alaskans who transform loneliness into powerful friendships and where the artist overcomes soul-aching cultural isolation. Fairbanks is populated by characters such as the happy Finnish couple who adopt Claire and Joe; the lively Eva McGown, a one-woman social services agency who wears a potent violet perfume and speaks with a sweet Irish brogue; and Fabian Carey, the trapper who loves the wilderness as much as he does opera, literate, and art. Written from the heart, this memoir of post-war Alaska has become a classic with its nostalgic reflections of a simpler time.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The late Claire Fejes, a resident of Alaska for more than thirty-five years, one of the state's finest painters--and the author of People of the Noatak, a sensitive portrait of Native Alaskan life--once again takes us on a journey exploring the tradition and cultures of Alaska. In Villagers, she embarks on an extended voyage up the Tanana and Yukon rivers to visit Native Athabascan villages along the way--New Minto, Galena, Koyukuk, Fort Yukon, Nenana, Kaltag, Rampart. She faithfully records in paintings and drawings, but above all in the words of the villagers themselves. The men, women, and children trusted Claire Fejes, and spoke candidly of their life, past and present, and their prospects for the future. The Natives of Alaska, the Athabaskan Indians, are facing a momentous crisis. Hunting pressures have reduced the moose and caribou populations so central to their livelihood. Unable to provide for themselves, many must leave their native villages to look for work in the cities. Traditional practical skills are vanishing. Welfare ranks are swelling. The new generation finds itself in a dilemma: to remain true to ancestral ways or to adopt urban values. Few can speak Athabaskan; it was once illegal to teach the language in the schools. Faced with the intrusion of outside values and their own misfortunes, many have grown bitter and resentful--and hopeless. The incidence of suicide and alcoholic addiction in some villages is alarming. Recently, however, there has been a resurgence of ethnic pride among the Athabascan. They are becoming infused with a new and deep respect for tradition. Hope for the survival of the dene--the People--exists. A timeless story deeply felt and generously illustrated, Villagers is the human drama of a people's struggle to retain its identity, in spite of threats from within and without.…
