Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

It's fairly new, just started in Jan. It plays on the Discovery channel here. We have really been enjoying it,

It's about the Kilcher family whose father Yule came to Alaska (from Switzerland) during WW2 because he was afraid Hitler would take over the world. They had eight children and the two boys still live there and live off the land as well as some of their sons and their families. It is fascinating! These people seriously live off the grid --they don't even have indoor plumbing!

Here's a link to the trailer

Oh and apparently the singer Jewel is the daughter of one of the sons (Atz).

Been watching it. I've been obsessed with Alaska since I visited in '09. I can't wait to go back!
