The essays are a major plus, covering many of the issues that crop up when doing archaeological research."-- "Alaska History" "Interspersed with photos and essays from local elders, teachers, and researchers at the site, Kal'unek From Karluk allows readers to consider the project from multiple viewpoints and adds a personal warmth. . . . Those who love archeology, history, and Native culture will find this book to be a rare and worthy discovery."-- "Alaska Magazine" "Copiously illustrated by relevant artifacts from the site. Highly Recommended." -- "Choice" "A concise, powerful, and illuminating description of Shishmaref's experience as a community, as a media magnet, as the object of extensive planning and discussion, and as an exemplar of climate change." -- "Arctic"
