Four tales of the never ending struggle for survival in the harsh Canadian Arctic will give readers an appreciation for the life and culture of the native peoples who call this icy land home. In Tiktaliktak, a young hunter is trapped on a drifting ice floe and carried far away from his family; can he survive alone on the barren island he finally reaches and ultimately make his way home? In The White Archer, Kanguq has one overwhelming purpose-to become a great archer and take revenge on the First Nation warriors who killed his family and kidnapped his sister. A young boy takes his grandfather on a long and extraordinarily difficult journey in the story of Akavak; can they reach the brother that the grandfather longs to see before his death? And in Wolf Run, Panniq fights off starvation and despair in his desperate search to find food to save his family. These previously published stories of courage and survival are appropriate for readers of all ages. The book's introduction includes a brief biography of the author who lived for many years with the Inuit. 2006, Harcourt, and Ages 10 up.

James Houston helped introduce Inuit culture to the world with his remarkable art and stories. Here are four of his exciting Inuit folk tales--"The White Archer", "Akavak," "Tikta'liktak" and "Wolf Run"--collected in one beautiful volume. "The White Archer" and "Tikta'liktak" were both named an Eskimo Legend CLA Book of the Year for Children in the 1960s.James Houston made his first journey to the Canadian Arctic in 1948 in search of a new land to paint. He lived with Inuit and Indian people in the Arctic for 12 years and grew to understand them and their way of life."Houston's knowledge of the Inuit people and their culture is astounding. And his description of the Arctic is both powerful and sometimes frightening--a cold, lonely world that can do strange things to men's minds." --Toronto StarAges 8 and up, Houston made his first journey to the Canadian Arctic in 1948 in search of a new land to paint. Four of his exciting Inuit folk tales--"Akavak," "Tiktaliktak," "The White Archer," and "Wolf Run"--are collected for the first time in one beautiful volume. Illustrations.
