Description

This is Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (Inuit traditional knowledge) in the flesh, co-editor and translator Jaypeetee Arnakak writes in his introduction to this volume of traditional Inuit stories.

The underlying events of a story are perfect spots to encode advice, explanations, and landmarks: the medium is the message.

Inuit legends and stories are not mere superstitious musings.

What they contain is far richer and more profound than what a superficial glance can grasp.

This rich volume contains thirty-three versions of traditional stories, transcribed and edited from oral recordings of ten Inuit elders from two High Arctic communities, Arctic Bay and Igloolik.
