Julie of the wolves

Miyax was lost in the Arctic. Thankfully her father had taught her some things. She finds a pack of wolves and manages to communicate with them. She pats the leader (his name is Amaroq) underneath his chin to show respect. She pats the pups and weakest wolf on top of their nose to show that they must show respect to her. When Miyax was young her father went out in a boat and never came back, so people thought he was dead. She said Amaroq was her adopted father. He brought food to her, he scared a bear away from her to protect her he even brought her to the wolf den to sleep. The leader pup, Kapu, would come and play with her. Once he came when she had finished cooking meat and she gave him some. He liked it so much that when he could catch something he brought it to her to cook. A while later he came back for some cooked meat.

She was running away to her pen pal. As she was getting close to the end of her journey an aeroplane came over and started to shoot at the wolves. They hit Amaroq and he died. They just wanted to get one of the ears for money. Afterwards Kapu became the leader. After a while Miyax finds her father. She was so happy that he was alive. But when she went into his house she saw a whole lot of American things and that he had married an American woman. Miyax did not want to go to her pen pal anymore because she was American and it was Americans that killed her adopted father. So when she saw the American things in her father’s house she left.
As she was going to the house she had made, her pet bird died. Then she realised that she could not survive alone. So Julie pointed her boots towards her father and happily went to him. She had been calling herself Miyax because she wanted so much to be an Eskimo and that was her Eskimo name.
