Kalitan, Our Little Alaskan Cousin by Mary F. Nixon-Roulet
"Our Little Alaskan Cousin" by Mary F. Nixon-Roulet is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The book introduces readers to the life and culture of the Thlinkit people in Alaska through the eyes of its young protagonist, Kalitan Tenas, and his encounters with an American boy named Ted Strong. Their friendship serves as a bridge between two very different worlds, and the story explores themes of hospitality, cultural exchange,and the beauty of the Alaskan landscape. The opening of the book sets the stage in a cold Alaskan setting, where Kalitan, a young Thlinkit boy, ventures out to fish despite the harsh weather. He is soon joined by Ted and his father, who are lost during their travels. The two boys quickly form a bond as they share experiences, including fishing and discussions about their very different lives. As they interact, they delve into stories of their cultures, with Kalitan recounting traditions of his people and demonstrating his knowledge of the land. This initial exchange of friendship and learning highlights the warmth and wisdom of the Thlinkit traditions, as well as the curiosity and adventurous spirit of the American boy.
