Minik's Story

(4) YA In this coming-of-age story, an Inuit girl's culture is on the verge of change when a priest of the Dog Children (white men) settles in her community. Minik's first-person narration doesn't always work (she transmits complex English-language exchanges that she claims not to understand), but Dewey vividly gives a detailed account of Inuit history and beliefs.
