Kolbert opens the book with scenes from her travels around Alaska_ She visits the Inupiat village of Shishmaref (population 591), where hunters tell her they used to drive snowmobiles some 20 miles across seasonal ice to catch seals. In Kaktovik, Alaska, a village on the Arctic Ocean, a robin built a nest during the summer of 2003--not an unusual event in more temperate latitudes but quite a departure where, in the Inupiat language, no name exists for robins. Kayuqtug Ugungoraseok (the red fox) is an orphan traumatized by her past and who is seeking respect in her traditional Inupiat village through the outlawed path of shamanism in the Alaska Arctic of 1971. |
