RE: [famous_quotes] native americans/whaling...
Sara,
I would highly recommend reading 'Quiquern' by Rudyard Kipling. It's a
short story about a village of Inuit living right next to the North Pole
and has lots of great quotes. I though of it immediately when I read
your post. I hope it is helpful to you. The whole story is posted on
line at the following link:
http://www.4umi.com/kipling/jungletwo/6.htm I have included the poem at
the beginning, as well as a great quote from the story.
"The People of the Eastern Ice, they are melting like the snow-
They beg for coffee and sugar; they go where the white men go.
The People of the Western Ice, they learn to steal and fight;
They sell their furs to the trading-post: they sell their souls to
the white.
The People of the Southern Ice, they trade with the whaler's crew;
Their women have many ribbons, but their tents are torn and few.
But the People of the Elder Ice, beyond the white man's ken -
Their spears are made of the narwhal horn, and they are the last
of Men!" -Rudyard Kipling, The Inuit
"Even as they looked, the sea began to skim over between the floating
cakes of ice, so intense was the cold; but on the horizon there was a
vast red glare, and that was the light of the sunken sun. It was more
like hearing him yawn in his sleep than seeing him rise, and the glare
lasted for only a few minutes, but it marked the turn of the year."
-Rudyard Kipling, 'Quiquern.'
