Educationally reviewed: All our publications are reviewed intensively by a team of Northern educators and language experts to ensure they are culturally authentic and that stories and information are considered in an educational context. An introduction to Inuit mythology: Inuit traditional stories like the ones featured in this book have been passed on from person to person for generations in the Arctic. These stories are part of Inuit oral history and are encoded with traditional knowledge and values. Because this book uses simple language (1-3 sentences per page) and was created with the intention of helping teach Inuktitut as a second language, it can be used as an introduction to Inuit traditional storytelling.
