Seth Kantner Reading
Seth Kantner reads selections from his novel, Ordinary Wolves. During a brief question and answer session, Kantner discusses how closely the dialect in the book matches the true dialect of the Inupiaq language of the native peoples of the Alaskan region. Kantner points out that his book generally stays true to the language, although many of the phrases in the book were the influence of a person that Kantner knew when he was young.
