Anchorage Daily News reviews Arctic Song

Anchorage Daily News has reviewed Arctic Song: Creation Stories of the Arctic, written by Germaine Arnattaujuq and Neil Christopher and illustrated by Germaine Arnattaujuq.

“Arnaktauyok’s paintings instill life into these brief legends. Each provides insight into how the Inuit viewed themselves and the world they dwelt in long before it was upended by the arrival of Europeans. Here narwhals, caribou, birds and other creatures travel through the sea, land and air, often accompanied by people who interact with them across those three dimensions….The purpose of this book is not just to delight readers and preserve mythology. It’s to instruct Inuit children in their own cultural traditions. To instill in them and maintain their identity.”
