Answer:
Uma is the wife of Atrik who is an eskimo. Kupugen is the father of Miyax who was a great Eskimo hunter and disappeared at sea while her daughter was away for school. The family of Atrik visited Miyax in her ice house.
Explanation:
When Atik , Uma and their son suqaq visits Miyax in her ice house, they tell Miyax that her father is still alive and is powerful man in the village. They tell her that Kapugen no longer lives the life of an Eskimo and he even hunts planes. Miyax is surprised and happy to know that her father is still alive, she goes with them towards their village to meet his father and live with him.
For he thinks that this kind of friendship can exist only when one spends a great deal of time with the other person, participating in joint activities and engaging in mutually beneficial behavior; and one cannot cooperate on these close terms with every member of the political community.
