Over 150 years ago, in the far north along the Kobuk River, lived a man who predicted changes that would free his people from the bondage of shamanism. Maniilaq spoke of books bearing truth, boats moving without being paddled, kayaks flying in the skies, as well as a heavenly intelligence who watched over people. He rested every seventh day and had no fear of the shaman's power. His final prophecies have not yet come to pass, but many natives in northern Alaska believe they will yet see a radiant city coming out of the sky to pick up the good people to take them to a beautiful land.
