A coming-of-age tale set on the tundra of northern Alaska follows young Aknik
as he sets out to prove his skills as a hunter so he may be allowed to hunt whale
with the men of his village. As his traps are mysteriously robbed, he is forced
to look deep into himself for the courage and wisdom needed to solve
the problem. A tale of native Inuits living in the traditional way.

• "Heinz and Van Zyle team up for an involving glimpse of the lives of
  traditional Inupiat people.. The lengthy text is dramatic; the paintings
  are a realistic accompaniment."
  Kirkus Reviews
  
  
• "Heinz's adventure tale has successfully captured a slice of life in the arctic."
  School Library Journal
  
  
• "This beautifully written book is rich in language and illustrations.
  The glossary enhances an already splendid book."
