Volume I · Aboard the COMMERCE
Na
A Native American whose settled tribal life is turned upside down by the arrival of Europeans. He knows there is a wider world beyond the horizon, but not how to reach it.
He has a strong spiritual compass, rooted in his people’s ancient respect for nature, and he brings natural sailing skills to the crew. Na would rather avoid responsibility, and he is comfortable taking direction from others.
Na’s challenge
Can his time with his new friends give him a view of the wider world that will help him and his people face the Europeans’ arrival?
For today’s reader
In today’s world, where people move so often and so far, many face some of the same worries.
