Homer isn't all that old compared to, say, Boston. But although our
history is short, it's loaded with "last frontier" color. Long before
the Caucasians came, first the Pacific Eskimos then the Dena'ina Indians
lived here, primarily on the southern shores of Kachemak Bay, gathering
their necessities from the waters, shores and hills, leaving testimony
of their lifestyle throughout the area. |
