There is far more to the world of the Inuits than cold temperatures and snow. Readers discover the incredible ways these people have learned to thrive in their harsh climate. Readers explore Inuit history from the first Arctic dwellers to the present. The cultural struggle faced by the Inuits is presented as they work to survive in the modern world while still trying to preserve the traditions of their past.
