Island Of The Blue Dolphins

This story is about a young girl named Won-a-pa-lei or her real name Karana. She, her older sister Ulape, and her brother Ramo live on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. They live with their father, the chief of Ghalas-at, Chowig.
Every year people called Aleuts come to their island to hunt otter. This year the Aleuts made a deal with Chief Chowig. If the Aleuts could stay on the island to hunt otter they would give the tribe half of their catch. They would be granted one part of the catch, paid in goods, and 2 parts for the Aleuts. Chief Chowig said that the parts had to be equal, and the Aleuts agreed. When the Aleuts were done hunting, they tried to leave the island without paying off their debt. This made the tribe mad, so a battle ensued. The goods finally got paid, however, most of the tribe members were killed, including the Chief.
The next Chief, Kimki, made a decision that the island was no longer saf

Then one day a ship appeared. Some of the men on the ship had seen Won-a-pa-lei’s fire and her house and went to investigate. They saw her footprints but couldn’t find her. The men departed the island before she could get their attention.

Won- a-pa-lei also got revenge at the wild dogs. She injured the leader of the pack and trained it to be her pet. With this animal she didn’t feel so deserted.

Spring passed many times but the ship never returned. Neither did the Aleuts.

Many days passed but the ship never returned. On a long sunless day, Ramo had gotten up early and went off to try to kill a wild dog for food. Won-a-pa-lei knew that he would be in great danger.
