Her heritage is of Northwest Coastal Native (Tlingit and Makah) and European blood. At twenty-five years old and penniless, she moved to a small island community with her two, soon-to-be three, children. She felt at home in this small community, Lopez Island, on the Salish Sea. In her forty-two years on Lopez Island, she has lived a rich life. Skyriver is a song-keeper for the community and helped establish Winter and Summer Solstice traditions and Passage Rites ceremonies. She and her husband live on a homestead without traditional plumbing--a hand pump at the sink brings fresh spring water--the toilet is a composting outhouse, they eat from her large garden, drink the milk from raised goats, and brew cider from the orchard. In \u003ci\u003eA Woman's Life on the Edge of the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, Skyriver delves deep into her family and heritage and into the richness of nature and Mother Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irene Skyriver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8987070778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798987070772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Green Writers Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Irene Skyriver","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44227980689663,"sku":"9798987070772","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efa749a4-4b98-48e0-a698-a97cb1a50aad.jpg?v=1692811468","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-womans-life-on-the-irene-skyriver-9798987070772","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
