Reviews~

"Maniilaq: Eskimo Prophet skillfully opens the door to the primitive world of the Northwest Arctic region of Alaska, where the inhabitants' ability to feed and clothe their families rests upon their hunting and their political skills in thwarting evil-doers inside their own tribe. This novel is enjoyable and packs some surprising twists and turns."
