Nunaqpa (Going Inland) 1991

Second Isuma recreated fiction, 1991. Summer in the 1930's. For Igloolik Inuit, it is the time of Nunaqpa, 'going inland,' the long walk in search of summer-fat caribou to catch enough meat for the hard winter ahead. Two families leave for the hunt, while the old couple waits by the shore for their return...

Nunaqpa is a part of the Unikaatuatiit (Story Tellers) Series.
