(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Howard "Weyahok" Rock. Written and illustrated over sixty years ago, these stories of a nineteenth-century Inupiat Eskimo boy are published now for the first time.

Though the dated writing style strains to include too much factual information, the stories capture an intriguing time and place in history. Bib., glos.
