Naka Character Analysis

Naka is Nusan’s husband, Daniel’s father, and Miyax’s father-in-law. He’s also Kapugen’s “serious” partner, which in the Inuit tradition refers to a friend with whom a person can “work and think.” Like Kapugen, Naka is an “old-fashioned” Inuk who takes great pride in his indigenous culture. Though Miyax has fond memories of Naka from her days at the seal camp, she later discovers that he is a violent alcoholic who regularly beats Nusan.
