Island Of The Blue Dolphins.

The main character is a Native American girl named Karana, secret name is Won-a-pa-lei. Her people live in a village called Ghalas-at and the tribe survives by means of gathering roots and fishing. One day, a ship of Russian fur hunters and Aleut people led by Captain Orlov arrive and persuade the natives to let them hunt sea otter in exchange for other goods. However, the Russians attempt to swindle the islanders and leave without paying. Karana takes on traditionally male tasks, such as hunting, making spears, and building canoes.
