The cool colors of the glacier, the silt filled water.
Pure is the air, and the love for their daughter.
They live off the land, prizing hides and Mammoth bone.
In the gravel I walk on, there's semiprecious stone.
Three teachers first came to this unforgiving land.
Savage Cabin's insulation is unwoven hemp strand.
The dark winter's air is dangeriously pernicious,
and the wildlife are all the more capricious.
I met a native Athabascan, whose beauty stretched across the glacier.
And as she spoke to me, I was captivated by her candor.
In 35 degree water, we paddled the raging Nenana!
All for the experience of visiting Alaska!
