One of the most terrifying creatures to be found in traditional Inuit stories is the nanurluk, a massive bear the size of an iceberg that lives under the sea ice. Its monstrous size and ice-covered fur make it an almost impenetrable foe. But when a lone hunter spots the breathing hole of the nanurluk on the sea ice near his iglu, he quickly uses his quick thinking and excellent hunting skills to hatch a plan to outsmart the deadly bear. Jose Angutingunrik, a gifted storyteller and respected elder from Kugaaruk, Nunavut, brings to life a story of the great nanurluk that has been told in the Kugaaruk region for generations.

Published by Inhabit Media, an Inuit-owned publishing house based in Iqaluit, Nunavit, The Giant Bear: An Inuit Folktale is a wonderfully engaging story about the triumph of brain over brawn, and the use of cunning and strategy to defeat a much more powerful enemy. Inuit elder Jose Angutinngurniq heard this story from his grandfather, and retells it here for the benefit of all. Illustrator Eva Widermann, who seems to have undertaken a number of project for Inhabit Media, creates vivid and colorful artwork to accompany the tale. Recommended to folklore lovers young and old, to anyone searching for stories with an Inuit background, and to young children who enjoy exciting tales of adventure. (
