Ordinary Wolves

In "Ordinary Wolves," the life of Cutuk Hawcley unfolds in the harsh expanses of contemporary Alaskan wilderness, where Iñupiaq Eskimo culture clashes with white society. Raised in the Arctic, Cutuk has mastered survival skills from indigenous hunters, yet finds himself ostracized while navigating both his Eskimo heritage and white identity. As he confronts the stark dichotomy between the unforgiving wild and modern consumer culture, Cutuk faces a poignant coming-of-age journey—one where acceptance seems elusive in both worlds.
