Więcej o książce

The story explores the Makah tribe's deep connection to whaling, a tradition that ceased in the 1920s due to the near extinction of the gray whale. With the species' recovery and removal from the endangered list in 1994, the tribe faces a challenge: reviving their ancient practice without any living memory of the old whaling techniques. This narrative delves into themes of cultural heritage, environmental stewardship, and the struggle to reclaim lost traditions in the face of modern challenges.
