Miki grew up, with her identical twin sister, Julie Collins, in the
vast, roadless wilderness north of Denali National Park in Alaska,
spending their childhood in a community of roughly thirty people
scattered around the shores of a large lake. After seven years of
correspondence home schooling, the twin sisters attended high
school and college in Fairbanks, studying biology and journalism at
the University of Alaska. Then they returned to their family's
homestead, where they continue to live a traditional Bush
lifestyle, trapping for fur, hunting for meat, fishing, and growing
their own produce. Miki once entered the Iditarod, and the sisters
bought their first Icelandic horse, Lilja, in 1986.
