Over 13 songs, Angaiak speaks to his community and also to the world.

�Ak�a Tamaani,� for one, became a regional hit in Alaska and reached as far as Greenland where Angaiak later performed in concert. Though I�m Lost in the City garnered a small mention in industry bible Billboard, regardless of the album�s cultural value, it sold poorly outside of Alaska and other northern communities, never finding a broader audience. In addition to his work as a painter and author, Angaiak is a proud family man and a source of great knowledge of his people and the changes they have faced over the years, shifting from a subsistence hunting, fishing, and sharing lifestyle to an increasingly urban influenced cash-based existence. An important statement on indigenous life and the human condition, I�m Lost in the City showcases Angaiak�s first hand perspective on this challenging transition, something that we can all learn a great deal from.
