Agaguk

This novel follows an Inuit community in the far north, where traditional hunting and family life still shape every day. Its central figure lives by the customs of his people, and his world begins to change as outsiders arrive from the south. Newcomers bring new goods, beliefs and expectations, and the gap between their ways and those of the Inuit grows harder to ignore. The book examines what is lost and what is defended when two very different ways of life meet on the same frozen land.
