Una Huna?: What Is This?

Susan Aglukark

Description

"A meaningful portrait of a young child living and loving in a unique period of North American history." — Kirkus

Ukpik loves living in her camp in the North with her family and she especially loves thinking up names for her brand new puppy. When a captain from the south arrives to trade with Ukpik's father, she's excited to learn how to use forks, knives, and spoons. At first, Ukpik enjoys teaching the other children how to use these new tools. But soon, she starts to wonder if they'll need to use the new tools all the time, and if that means that everything in camp will change. After a conversation with her grandmother, Ukpik realizes that even though she will learn many new things, her love for her family and camp will never change - and it even inspires her to find a name for her puppy!

Jake turned to look for in the doorway, but all he saw of the little dog was his tail scampering back down the steps and around the side of the house.
Get back here Jake called after his dog. He never listens to me, A taatasi aq
Jake hopped down the steps in his socks and pulled from under the porch. -->
