Inuvik II, Little Star Rises

This is volume two of the Inuvik Saga. It is a story of a country formed by Native Americans in the northwest of North America before the great white expansion of white people east of the Mississippi River began to flood into the west. By chance a young Scotsman is abandoned by his ship and is taken in by a native tribe. After the language barrier is conquered he realizes the people there are just as intelligent as any of his countrymen and begins to teach the children to read and write. The children, and many of the adults as well, are endlessly curious and knowledge spreads like wildfire. It is not long before their territory is coveted by white settlers and an army is sent to pacify them. War ensues and the Inuvikans manage a narrow victory, but more conflict is on the way and they now realize their future will be hard won with blood and sacrifice. This book continues that story.
