Little Seal
My brothers and sisters are strong. I am told we traversed the plains, even beyond the horizon where pink converges blue and expands into the great white heavens. I have no memory of this journey, but Grandfather says I have strength in my bones and that bones carry memories, so I am strong too. Most days, Grandmother boils willow bark and qulliq, which heal my lungs. My brother Nanook is growing the fastest; he is getting muscles and often pummels us younger ones to the ground to wrestle and Grandmother yells “get off Little Seal!” I laugh so hard I can’t breathe. That’s what grandmother calls me, Little Seal.
