Document Summary
Him and this guy now had grown up in divided things (half the time w/ the. Inuit, half as an european) perhaps this divided nature makes him search for these divided kids: one day the father hides stones in the bag of the dog father. Now n"s father is the only one bringing food to the island for her and the babies: she sent off her children -> ones more like dogs became white people; ones more. Then her dad comes back to life and goes to bring her come. He"s getting the story from a whole bunch of different people. It"s central and it was taken back when christianity moved in but now again t"s a way to reconnect with your past and history and spirituality. White men are incorporated into the myth and shes becoming gentler. It gives them a sense of identity, history and celebrates their culture and respect for environment so it will survive.
