One of the most significant familes were the family that came to be known as the Harpers. This is the story of the coming of the European and American fortune-hunters and the marriages and alliances and cultural assimilation that went on between the Athabascans and the Outsiders. The author, Jan Harper-Haines, tells the story of her family and their history. Fascinating and unique insight into a cultural history.
