Skip to product information
Each chapter begins with an epigraph to remind the reader that the land of the Yup'ik on the Kuskokwim Delta is part of a larger world. And, prior to each chapter, a short poem by the author challenges the readers' thinking. It is a gentle nudge to ponder the events happening on the Kuskokwim and what's to come in the next part of the narrative.
I could very well have known Kim-boy. I grew up in a town on the Kuskokwim at about the same time period. I can attest that Sky Changes brings to the reader a sliver of the life among the Yup'ik during this time.

Sky Changes On the Kuskokwim - Paperback

by Clifton Bates (Author)
In the course of a lifetime, so much has changed in rural Alaska. Time has eroded the past ways of living; leaving in its place, a complicated straddling of the old and new.
The author takes us through the life and hard times of Kim-boy. From family loss to memories gained, Kim-boy struggles to find his way and make sense of both time and place. This is a story that could be told in many parts of Rural Alaska.
Kim-boy's life is a story of changes and, perhaps, tragedy. His life was a sand bar as the tide rises. Smooth at first, seemingly endless, only to narrow and disappear with the incoming tide of an everchanging world.
