Description
Pearl has always dreamed of hunting whales, just like her father. But now that can never be. Her father was lost on the last hunt, and the whales hide from the great steam-powered ships carrying harpoon cannons, which harvest dozens of whales from the ocean. With the whales gone, Pearl's people struggle to survive as she searches for ways to preserve their stories and skills. This powerful story shines a light on Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest in the 1920s, a time of critical cultural upheaval. Rosanne Parry explores the challenges faced by the Makah tribe during this period, revealing the importance of preserving traditional knowledge and ways of life.
