About The Author
A conscientious objector during the Vietnam War, Donald Proffit was assigned to alternative service in Alaska. That experience included an extended stay in the remote Iñupiaq village of Point Hope, 125 miles above the Arctic Circle. In this isolated setting, his worldview began to take shape as he experienced the isolation of the outsider and witnessed the powerful role the arts and ethics can play in defining inclusive communities.
