About the book
"Trouble boils in Poniktuk, an Inuit coastal village. Simon Umingmak, the self-serving council chairman, squares off against Nate, his 18-year-old nephew, about land rights. While they spar, a hunter finds a nearly dead white woman on a hillside and brings her to Poniktuk, where a teenage girl starts a cult around her striped tuque. The moon spirit Aningan makes a disguised appearance, and when a herd of caribou surrounds the village, Sedna, the spirit under the sea, reenters the human world where she left it. In one long bright night, spirits and humans collide, with horrific consequences." "In Midnight Sun, the human and spirit worlds interpenetrate, and the modern coexists with the immeasurably ancient. After a scene of tumult and destruction so shocking that no one can speak of it afterwards, the spirits return to their domains, and Poniktuk faces a radically changed future."--BOOK JACKET.
