- Synopsis
- From the book: In a coastal bay in the land of the Tlingit, huge waves arise without warning, engulfing even the largest war canoe in an instant. The young Tlingit princess Kchokeen knows that a spirit called Gonakadet, the Sea-Wolf, lives in these waters, and wonders if it is responsible for the destructive waves. Kchokeen also knows that wealth and honor come to those who see Gonakadet. But when an adventure near the bay concludes with a vision of the Sea-Wolf, the gifts she receives are unexpected, and make her the instrument of profound changes in the destiny of her people. The Pacific Northwest is the setting for this dramatic original story, which draws on Tlingit myth as well as accounts of the Tlingit's first contacts with European adventurers. In addition to the beautifully told story, the book includes a short history of the area where these Indians live. This is a fine book for a school report. Picture descriptions are included.
