Why is Miyax also called Julie?

Miyax is also called Julie because she adopts this name while living among the wolves in the Alaskan wilderness in the book "Julie of the Wolves" by Jean Craighead George. The name Julie is a reflection of her desire to connect with her own cultural identity while navigating her survival in a challenging environment. This dual identity symbolizes her internal struggle between her traditional upbringing and her quest for independence and understanding in the wild.
