| Abstract
|
:
|
Explains how Inuit oral traditions have kept these myths and many others like them alive for generations. Inuit families snuggled together in their winter houses listening to storytellers fill the long cold nights with tales about a time when unbelievable things could happen. These adventurers broke up the long hours of winter darkness & gave the listeners a cultural & traditional heritage. Each chapter is followed by a question & answer section which covers themes, symbols & characters; & an expert commentary section, which makes for great discussion. Brilliant illustrations help the stories come to life.--
