But the kids wanted to play and the adults wanted to fight high dropout rates and substance abuse. So in a town where people need each other to survive and rely on each other in ways most communities never will, it turns out that Barrow was the right place after all.
Just ask "Big John," the 340-pound lineman, or Pili, the only girl on the team, or Albert Gerke, the quarterback who helped bring a sport seen only on TV into the lives of the 4,800 people who live in town. Their stories are the stories of the Iņupiat Eskimos who have called Barrow home for thousands of years, who have worked hard for respect, who strive to integrate with mainstream American culture while keeping their traditions alive every day.

Football has brought them closer, carrying with it the lesson that when they work together, Barrow can be the ideal place for anything. ire our children."
