To pair with Never Alone, we recommend

      • Native Languages of the Americas: Inuit Legends, Myths, and Stories
      • Eskimo Folk-Tales
  • Rob’s recommendation
    • Sticking with the educational theme - find a documentary to watch! 
    • Something about climate change or the fishing industry if you want to align it with some of the issues facing the Inupiat people.
