* The Sea Around Us:
March 28, 1986
Hello again,
For the fourth year running now the Upward Bound class of Keggatmiut High School in Scammon Bay has produced a small "projet d’art." This year our theme is the sea, so we have entitled our project and publication, "The Sea Around Us."
As you will see when delve more deeply into our little book, it includes old stories narrated by the people of Scammon Bay, stories of myth, imagination and experience by the students themselves, and finally a section of student poetry on the sea.
Not every one of the stories is about the sea itself but they do speak of the coastal area that verges on and merges with the sea. All of them, in any case, include the cumulative individual and collective life experience of the Yupik people who live in this maritime region of the Bering Sea coast of south west Alaska. It is this we would like to share with those who take the time to read our "The Sea Around Us."
We dedicate our work to Rachel Carson who once wrote a splendid book with the same title.
Sincerely,
Frank J. Keim,
Upward Bound Teacher
