Coming Home: The Alaskan Poetry of Mary Tallmountain

Mary TallMountain (1918 – 1994) was only six years old when she was adopted out of her village. Writing and a strong grounding in her Native culture helped her endure many traumas until she was finally able to come home to Nulato 50 years later. Hearing Mary’s story will help people recog-nize the healing power of their own stories. Script by Anne Hanley based on the writings of Mary TallMountain, produced by Sharon McConnell, and directed by Allan Hayton.
