""Eskimos now look at the big houses that birds must fly around. All they can say is "Ah-yaaa, ah-yaaa". There are no words in Eskimo to mean the big things the white man builds out of his head in Alaska". George Ahgupuk

""Everything came to Alaska for building lots and lots of houses. They came for the Alaska Housing Authority. Lumber for white men's houses. Lumber for houses in Eskimo villages, too." George Ahgupuk

""Then came men called soldiers-as many as the stars. They carried guns. Pretty soon the Eskimos were soldiers too. They lived in the white man's army houses and learned to march and salute". George Ahgupuk

"Villages grew bigger and spread out over the land. Where men found more yellow pebbles they made more towns and more stores. Big boats ran up and down the rivers. White woman and children came too." George Ahgupuk
