A foreword to Bird Girl and the Man Who Followed the Sun: An Athabaskan Indian Legend from Alaska is written by Inupiaq Iggiagruk (Willie Hensley). Wallis' book is one of the Athabaskan stories her mother told her as a child growing up at Fort Yukon. The legend weaves a timely tale of struggle for survival. Bird Girl, an independent Indian woman defies tradition, and a young Eskimo man journeys from his homeland in search of the legendary Land of the Sun. They wander far from their culture's deeply held traditions and must find a way to come home again. Battle of the Books, 1999.
