About

17 Year old Panuk lives in Pangnirtung with his parents and extended family. Panuk’s parents have passed down many Inuit traditions to their children and have also taught them survival skills, including how to hunt and fish.

Panuk’s father takes tourists on hunting trips. But when he has to leave Pangnirtung to get a painful kidney stone removed, he cannot cancel an upcoming tour and asks Panuk to step in for him.

The two men Panuk is to take on the trip are rude and disrespectful. They are prejudiced toward Inuit people and youth. As Panuk and the two men journey to their camping spot, the local RCMP officer calls Panuk and tells him a severe storm is headed their way. It’s too late to return back to town, and Panuk and the two men must prepare their camping site before the storm hits.

Will the 17 year old be able to deal with the two hunters and will they all survive this one arctic night?

Book Reviews
This is a wonderful story that moves quickly and smoothly, and teaches several important moral lessons. The real world setting makes it very believable, and gives a lot of valuable information about a modern Inuit village that combines life in today's Canadian society with much about traditions, culture and survival techniques of people living in such harsh northern conditions. I highly recommend this book.
