Summary:

"Between the beach and the forest straggled the little Alaskan Indian village, dominated by the totems of its two clans, the wolf and the killer whale. Nakatla, who belonged to Wolf House, was the granddaughter of its chief, but her father had been a young sea captain rescued by her people when his ship was wrecked on the rocky coast. And now, when she was on the verge of womanhood, another foreigner had come--a trader who buildt a store, and a home for his family. This is first of all the story of Nakatla and the trader's son, but it is also the story of how the challenge of the newcomers was met."--Dust jacket.
