Qeya River atiga

The boy took his choice of prize and settled back with it. Now it was time for Malrok - often chasing after his brother, only a step short in most instances. For now he proved interested in the piles; Kigipigak studied the way he moved in flitting spurts of interest from pile to pile, like a hungry salmon seeking a path upstream.

Malrok showed interest in so much of what was offered. The bones, the feathers, the rocks - ah, and these he came back to, carefully extracting his favorites. Kigipigak was pleased by what he saw.

Then the boy looked to him.

You like those stones? They are from our river! Do you see the reds? The river belly is rich with clay, and so are they. He hadn't studied the pieces in-depth after gathering them, but recalled some were earthen and some were moody blues.

You are no longer Malrok, born to your mother's hearth. Today you become Akkuma, my son. Tenacious as the salmon that swim against the current - named for the heart that bleeds, flowing like our precious river.

His voice is booming, but then quiets. Go, take those to your mother, show her your prize.

In case you both want the meanings behind the names... :>

KIVALUK is a direct word from Inupiaq which denotes the first vertebrae of the spine.
AKKUMA was created by fusing elements of different words: AUKKUN means blood vessel; KIKU is the word for clay (but kikuyat/kiiguyat references the northern lights); UUMA means "live coal" but can also have alternate meanings (uumak means "green wood", uumman means "heart" for example).
