Abstract:
"Each volume in the Kappianaqtut series provides readers with an in-depth academic examination of two mythological creatures from Inuit mythology. The series examines Inuit myths from an ethnographic perspective and fosters discussion on the variations and multiple representations of the myths and creatures in question.
This volume, which explores the giants of the North and the mother of the sea mammals, has been fully revised and updated.
Kappianaqtut represents the first book-length study of Inuit mythological beings written from a Northern perspective."--Pub. desc.
