BokKeesh lived at the edge of the Polar Sea. He had seen 13 suns in the Eskimo way of keeping time. Among the Eskimos, the sun each winter leaves the land in darkness. And the next year, a new sun returns, so it might be warm again. The father of Keesh had been a brave man. But he had died hunting for food. Keesh was his only son. Keesh lived along with his mother, Ikeega.
One night, the village council met in the big iglu of Klosh-Kwan, the chief. Keesh was there with the others. He listened, then waited for silence. He said, "It is true that you give us some meat, but it is often old and tough meat and has many bones." The hunters were surprised. This was a child speaking against them, a child talking like a grown man. Keesh said, "My father Bok was a great hunter. It is said that Bok brought home more meat than any of the two best hunters and that he divided the meat so that all got an equal share."
