If you are a person who does not hold those views, but holds somewhat of a more widespread religious orientation, then the events in this book might very well prove upsetting.
If you are of the school that holds that the Christian God is the only one acceptable and the Bible is the only way acceptable, then you will agree with what happens to the Eskimos in this novel. How you feel about this book will be shaped very strongly by your own religious views.
This story takes place in 1890 in Alaska and is about a young Eskimo girl named Minuk.
