I loved learning about Yup’ik culture and seeing missionaries from their point of view, but the story itself didn’t have a major conflict between Yup’ik versus white people’s ways. It meandered along with each side learning about each other.

Hey!
I am seeking out any middle-grade or YA books that show indigenous joy. It seems to be lacking. If you know any good ones, please let me know. Thanks!

Interesting, solidly researched historical fiction. Depressing in the general oppression of women and the epidemic deaths, but I think it paints a realistic picture, and is highly sympathetic to the preservation of native culture.
