Iggiagruk Hensley was raised to live the seminomadic life that his Iñupiaq ancestors had lived for thousands of years. In this stirring memoir, he offers us a rare firsthand account of growing up Native Alaskan, and later, in the lower forty-eight, as a fearless advocate for Native land rights. In 1971, after years of tirelessly lobbying the United States government, he played a key role in a landmark victory that enabled the Inupiaq to take charge of their economic and political destiny. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFifty Miles from Tomorrow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is \"a joyous celebration of Hensley's life among the Iñupiaq people and of fighting for their rights\" (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e).\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Todd Communications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67656615362928,"sku":"bwg1791383068966","price":11.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/5170\/1872\/files\/fifty-miles-from-tomorrow-a-memoir-of-alaska-and-the-real-people_1.jpg?v=1791383073","url":"https:\/\/www.mapleandmoss.shop\/products\/fifty-miles-from-tomorrow-a-memoir-of-alaska-and-the-real-people","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
