Form, Content, and Cultural Values in Three Inuit (Eskimo) Survival Stories.

Stott, Jon C.

American Indian Quarterly, v10 n3 p213-26 Sum 1986

Examines three survival stories involving Inuits: Harpoon of the Hunter (Markoosie), Tikta'Liktak (Houston), and Julie of the Wolves (Craighead). Focuses on the difficulties involved in using a literary form of Anglo-American-European culture to deal with events and attitudes from a culture as different as the Inuit. (JHZ)
