Northern Lights: the Soccer Trails - Kusugak, Michael Arvaarluk

As New; "Their scientific name is Aurora Borealis. We call them Aqsalijaat, "The trail of those playing soccer"; on Baffin Island, they are known simply as Aqsarniit, "Soccer Trails". Soccer is a traditional game of the Inuit. It is our belief that the souls of the dead like to indulge in the lively game of soccer as they did when they were living. They run all over the sky chasing a walrus head that they use for a soccer ball. And that is what the northern lights are." - from the cover. Beautifully illustrated by Vladyana Krykorka
