UNA HUNA, Ukpik Learns to Sew, By Susan Aglukark, is where Young Ukpik wants to play with bright new trade beads her mother got from a southern captain, but her mother insists she first learn essential survival sewing skills like preparing and drying caribou skin for mittens.

But Ukpik can’t stop thinking about the beautiful new beads her mother traded the Captain for on his last visit. They are so bright and beautiful! Anaana knows it is more important for Ukpik to learn the skills she will need to make her own clothing in the cold Arctic climate, so she insists that Ukpik sit with her and learn the basics, while having a bit of fun, too. Though Anaana won’t let Ukpik sew with the new beads just yet, she does have a surprise for Ukpik that will let her enjoy the new-found treasures while also learning the skills she will need to provide for herself and her family.
