Two of its 112 large pages were devoted to the Carcross Community. Unfortunately, it did not hit the bookshelves till January 1979, by which time the vision of the future had been overtaken by events. The school closed on June 30 of that year.
Those two pages are presented below. To see much larger versions, click on either image.
The book has recently been re-issued, in slightly smaller page size.
Hippies Unite to Save the Yukon
Where have all the flower children gone?
Most of them may have dried up and withered away, but the hardiest of the breed still flourish out in
the wild and it looks like they have put down permanent roots. They have done a turn on Horatio
Alger's advice to "Go west, young man!" only now that should read, "Go north, young person!" The
hippies are alive and well and living in the Yukon.
