Description and Table of Contents

Description

Inuit adults often present small children with difficult choices and then dramatise the consequences of the child's answers, enacting the plots that drive Inuit social life. This narrative takes readers through six months in the life of a three-year-old girl growing up in a Baffin Island camp.
