About This Book

A young Copper Eskimo boy grows up on Victoria Island learning to build snow houses, hunt seals and other game, and travel with his family through changing seasons. The episodic chapters follow daily tasks, hunting adventures, encounters with strangers and bears, shared tales and songs, a long summer journey beneath continuous daylight, a period of disappearance, and a return home. The account emphasizes practical skills, communal bonds, resourcefulness, and the mix of danger and everyday play that shape life in a remote Arctic subsistence culture.
