Describing why we needed a book for rural Alaska - many prevention materials are available, but non show the world of a remote village.  Mom, Dad and Grandma teach the same lessons but they do it with local examples and resources. 
It was such an honor to spend three days in Tuluksak, Alaska. I presented "The Promise of Prevention" as the keynote address.  The prevention team (me and my student volunteers) made presentations to all the grade levels.  I also visited the local Head Start program.  In my village "walk-around" I talked to the Health Aides, Tuluksak tribal officials, and the local lay pastor.  There is wide support for prevention in the village.  Special thanks to Ruth Black, teacher, and Gene Burke, principal, for facilitating this visit.
