Retells the Alaskan legend about two old women who are abandoned by their tribe during a migration in search of food

An Alaska Legend of Betrayal, Courage, and Survival

Two Old Women

Jeannette Ordas

I liked this very simple story of 2 old women left to die in the woods by their Athabaskan tribe. They were thought to be weak but ended up strong, surprising themselves and their old tribe members who show up later in the story. The young ones thought they were strong, but those 2 old women showed 'em how it's really done by spending a year in the Alaskan wilderness and surviving.
