Island of the blue dolphins

It all started out one day when a member of Karana’s tribe had spotted ships on the horizon. The white men had come. This is one of the things Karana’s tribe feared the most. When the white men came last time, they almost hunted the otter to a point of no existence leaving only a few for the Indians to eat and make clothes from.
