What does it mean to grow rich? Is it to have red-blooded adventures and to make a ‘fortune،’ which is what brought the whalers and other entrepreneurs north? Or is it، rather، to have a good family life and to be imbued with a far-reaching and intimate knowledge of one’s homeland، which is what the Tununirmiut told the whalers at Pond’s Bay wealth was? Is it to retain a capacity for awe and astonishment in our lives، to continue to hunger after what is genuine and worthy? Is it to live at moral peace with the universe?
