The Eskimo is a minority inhabiting Chukotka in the north of Russia. Actually here in Russia there are no more than 2,000 Eskimos. They are a wondrous folk indeed, treasuring the heritage of their ancestors.

The tale we are happy to present today is entitled “How Man Returned the Sun to the Birds.”
