Two old women [sound recording] / by Wallis, Velma,author(CARDINAL)377041; Tooley, Megan,narrator; Blackstone Publishing,contributor(CARDINAL)850472; Harper Audio (Firm),contributor(CARDINAL)539013;
Read by Megan TooleyBased on an Athabascan Indian legend passed along for many generations from mothers to daughters of the upper Yukon River Valley in Alaska, this is the suspenseful, shocking, ultimately inspirational tale of two old women abandoned by their tribe during a brutal winter famine. Though these women have been known to complain more than contribute, they now must either survive on their own or die trying. In simple but vivid detail, Velma Wallis depicts a landscape and way of life that are at once merciless and starkly beautiful. In her old women, she has created two heroines of steely determination whose story of betrayal, friendship, community, and forgiveness speak straight to the heart with clarity, sweetness, and wisdom.

Two old women : an Alaska legend of betrayal, courage, and survival / by Wallis, Velma.(CARDINAL)377041;
Based on an Athabascan Indian legend passed along from mother to daughter for many generations on the upper Yukon River in Alaska, this is the tragic and shocking story-with a surprise ending-of two elderly women abandoned by a migrating tribe that faces starvation brought on by unusually harsh Arctic weather and a shortage of fish and game. This story of survival is told with suspense by Velma Wallis, whose subject matter challenges the taboos of her past. Yet, her themes are modern-empowerment of women, the graying of America, Native American ways.1030L
