Like many St. Lawrence Island legends, this story is set in Siberia where Chukchi, the Reindeer People, live.
Pelaasi, an elder from Gambell, speaks Siberian Yupik. His mythical story, about a man who goes out in search of a reindeer thief, is an ungipaghaq, a tale that has been passed down unchanged through generations and believed to be based in truth.
