A boy who goes to Barrow, Alaska, to live with friends of his father for awhile learns the importance of whaling to the Eskimo culture.
He is cunning and courageous, and outwits hunters at every turns . . . Vulpes was the pride of his parents, the smartest pup of the litter--and he grew into a fast, quick-witted red fox whose abilities became legend among the forest's hunters. Other foxes avoid the hunt. Not Vulpes. He relishes leading men and hounds on hopeless chases across the countryside, slipping away at the last moment. But one day, Vulpes meets his match, coming face to face with a hunter as wily as he is. But the hunter has a gun.… (meer)

-George, Jean C. Julie of the Wolves Illus by John Schoenherr. Harper & Row, 1972, 170 pages, Intermediate
-Julie of the Wolves is an exhilarating tale through the eyes of a 13-year-old girl named Miyax. This story, with few but powerful illustrations, takes place in the Alaska North Slope where Miyax is trying to survive with a pack of wolves and later battles the luring effect of the western world through her pen pal Amy. After a major event occurs towards the end of this quick-paced, action packed story the young girl again battles between traditional values and assimilation to gussak (white man) culture.
-Keywords: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Inuit/Inuk, Tradition, Assimilation, icehouse, North Slope
-Activity: Read another book about assimilation and Alaska native struggles and have students write a reflection on the similarities they notice between the two books.… (meer)
