Kamleikan is composed of a tightly knit smattering of small, simple huts and communal gathering places. While the villagers of Kamleikan, themselves known as Kamleikans, are mainly of a hunter-gatherer bent, pens full of domesticated reindeer livestock denote a level of sophistication beyond that of ordinary hunter-gatherers. Theologically, Kamleikans practice a form of ancestor worship, and hold at least some degree of reverence for the sactity of life in all its forms. The religious leader of the village is the Kamleikan shaman, imbued with the spiritual knowledge of his people.

 

 

Despite its harsh terrain, Kamleikan's marine environment attracts a wide variety of wildlife. Within the village's limits, herds of reindeer may be found, and the yips of sled dogs can sometimes be heard.  Starting towards the snow fields, one often finds snowshoe hares. Further out, amid the glaciatic ice flows dwell harp seals, walruses and penguins, and echoing across these frigid waves the song of the mysterious narwhal may be heard. Aside from the occasional fir and pine trees and the desiccated tufts of grass on which the grazing animals subsist, the only plant in any real abundance is [[kelp]], which grows below the surface of the water.
