This true story takes readers on an unforgettable journey into the untouched wilderness of southern Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska – a land of breathtaking beauty, where towering mountains meet the vast expanse of the North Pacific Ocean.

It offers a rare glimpse into Haida culture and the experiences of a young white couple from the Midwest as they navigate life in a Native American community. Arriving in Hydaburg as teachers, they soon realize that they are the ones being taught.

Through their experiences, they learn profound lessons – patience, the value of listening over speaking, what it truly means to be a minority, and how to let the word honkey roll off their backs like the ever-present rain. Most importantly, they come to understand the power of accepting people for who they are, rather than who we expect them to be.

You are invited to share in the trials and tribulations that changed their lives forever.

Aside from several newspaper adventure stories and an article on cross curriculum approaches to learning for Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound, Mr. Worple is a first-time author. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education from the University of Wisconsin–Stout and taught for over thirty years, retiring in 2017. Along with his wife and two children, he lived in Alaska for twelve years. He now lives in the Northwoods of Wisconsin where retirement has allowed him the opportunity to write about his adventures in wilderness Alaska.
