RIVER TIES
North of the Alaska Range, life, history, stories and songs are defined by the fabled mighty rivers that cross through it. For thousands of years, these riv- ers have been "roads" through the country. Genera- tions of people have made their lives around them. From ancient trading routes, to steamships, to the river barges of today, rivers connect many of the northern villages.
