Mythical monsters of Greenland : a survival guide / by Kreutzmann, Maria Bach.; Lynge, Coco Apunnguaq.;
"What should you do if you encounter a Qivittoq? Can you outrun the fabled Ikusik? And what is a Tupilak made of? About 4500 years ago, the first Inuit landed in Greenland via North America, bringing with them stories about the mythical beings that lived alongside them. These creatures and monsters have survived the ravages of time and tide, although they have sometimes had to re-invent themselves to fit the modern world. This handy guide will help guide you through the do's and don'ts should you encounter any of these creatures in the Arctic wilderness. Happy hunting!"--

What I remember, what I know : the life of a High Arctic exile / by Audlaluk, Larry,1950-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Larry Audlaluk was born in Uugaqsiuvik, a traditional settlement west of Inujjuak in northern Quebec, or Nunavik. He was almost three years old when his family was chosen by the government to be one of seven Inuit families relocated from Nunavik to the High Arctic in the early 1950s. They were promised a land of plenty. They were given an inhospitable polar desert. Larry tells of loss, illness, and his family's struggle to survive, juxtaposed with excerpts from official reports that conveyed the relocatees' plight as a successful experiment. With refreshing candour and an unbreakable sense of humour, Larry leads the reader through his life as a High Arctic Exile--through broken promises, a decades- long fight to return home, and a life between two worlds as southern culture begins to encroach on Inuit traditions."--
