In 1893 at the Chicago World's Fair millions of people go to see a young Labrador Inuit boy
called Pomiuk, Prince of the North. He is part of Eskimo Village, one of the living cultures
showcased at the exhibition. How he got there - amid all the wonders of the world like Egyptian
belly dancing, Columbian Ferris Wheel, the newly invented telephone and electricity and Buffalo
Bill's Wild West Show - and what happens when he injures his leg, are all part of this amazing
tale based on a real-life boy.
