There the old Eskimo hunters she had known in her childhood thought the riches of life were intelligence, fearlessness, and love. A man with these gifts was rich and was a great spirit who was admired in the same way that the gussaks admired a man with money and goods.Jean Craighead George
About This Quote
Every Eskimo has a burning desire to become wealthy. It is the only way they can achieve happiness in this world. They believe that love is the greatest wealth in life because it makes them happy. However, the love that they are talking about here is mostly romantic love.
The love they are talking about here is not the same kind of love that you would have with your family. No Eskimo will let anyone control his or her mind or their life. They want to be in charge of their own destiny and live freely without anyone trying to make them do anything against their will.
They will always fight for what they believe in and will never accept defeat no matter what happens.
