Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of true love never did run smooth."

A blending of ethnography, personal reflections, and natural history,Make Prayers to the Raven is a moving account of the Koyukon people, who follow a traditional lifeway of hunting, trapping, and fishing in remote villages scattered across the Alaskan boreal forest. Intimacy with nature is the foundation of their existence, and they have accumulated a masterly knowledge of their environment. The Koyukon hunter moves through a watchful forest, kills with humility and respect, and treats his catch as a being filled with power.
