A NOVEL BY

ROBERT FEAGAN

.....

"You know nothing of the world and are not old enough to know what is right. All of this talk about computers and television and the city. If children keep leaving for the South and show no interest in our traditions soon they will all be forgotten. Your friends don't even speak their own language! They watch television instead of going hunting with their fathers, or hang around the game hall in the evenings instead of listening to the elders. What good will all this lead to? The more you go to school the more you want to move to the South. You are not to speak of these things again Napachee! Our way of life has been good enough for us for centuries and it will be good enough for you! You are not to go near the white men. Instead, you will go with me tomorrow when I go hunting." With that Enuk turned to leave.

"You are blind Father! Can't you see that our own community is getting smaller every day? One by one everyone is moving south and finding real work! The white man's ways are better than ours!"
