My name is not easy. My name is hard like ocean ice grinding at the shore... Luke knows his I upiaq name is full of sounds white people can't say. So he leaves it behind when he and his brothers are sent to boarding school hundreds of miles away from their Arctic village. At Sacred Heart School, students Eskimo, Indian, White line up on different sides of the cafeteria like there's some kind of war going on. Here, speaking I upiaq or any native language is forbidden.
