Cutuk learns from the local indigenous community how to survive and provide for himself by hunting, fishing, and trading, yet he's still deemed an outsider by the Iñupiaq residents in the nearby village of Takunak because he's white. Despite his love for Alaska's wilderness and Dawna, a young woman in the village, he leaves for the city and its modern-world trappings.
