Kaylene Johnson-Sullivan discusses her book Our Perfect Wild: Ray and Barbara Bane's Journeys and the Fate Of the Far North, recently published by University of Alaska Press. Joining Kaylene, via Skype, will be Ray Bane who now resides in Hawaii. Our Perfect Wild examines the life of Ray and Barbara Bane, who in the 1960s worked as teachers in Barrow and Wainwright, Alaska. A decade later, Ray's dedication to the Alaska Native subsistence lifestyle led him to work for the National Park Service as a park planner for Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve and many other national parks in Alaska.
