editor's note
[Sam Oozevaseuk Schimmel is a teenager who has learned to live in two very different worlds.](
His mother is from an indigenous community in Gambell, Alaska. A wave of cultural destruction, brought by the federal government, has left a legacy of trauma that has played out across generations.
Sam has embraced his family's heritage. He loves hunting and fishing and learning from elders.
But he went to school in Seattle. He didn't like sitting still and following rules. He got into trouble.
How did Sam find his true self? That's the question that correspondent Rebecca Hersher answers in her story ["The Conflicting Educations Of Sam Schimmel."](
It's part of our month-long series: [How To Raise A Human.](
It's a long read, so I'd say, set aside a few minutes and dive in. It's the kind of story that really stays with you after you're done.
