Description
Published fifty years ago under the title Harpoon of the Hunter, Markoosie Patsauq's novel helped establish the genre of Indigenous fiction in Canada. This new English translation brings to life the story of Kamik, a young hero who comes of age while on a perilous hunt for a wounded polar bear.
In this astonishing tale of survival and cooperation, Patsauq describes a life in the Canadian Arctic as one that is reliant on vigilance and community. A fresh and contextualized interpretation of a cultural milestone, Hunter with Harpoon offers readers a sophisticated coming-of-age tale that sheds light on a way of life not as it appeared to outsiders, but as it has survived in the memory of the Inuit themselves.
