Library-quality hardcover book with dust-jacket. This book is a
collection of short stories in Naskapi that features the
"historical account" traditional Algonquian storytelling genre,
tipachimuna (stories). The book features some eyewitness accounts
of tragic and exciting events on the land and sea, as well as
first-person accounts of the storyteller's own adventures and skill
as a hunter and provider. This is the sixth book in a series
prepared for reading in Naskapi and in English by the Naskapi
Development Corporation. John Peastitute (1896-1981) was a Naskapi
Elder who was a well respected as a story-keeper and storyteller.
His repertoire of both tipachimuna and atiyuhkinich was extensive,
and his performances engaging. The tape recordings of his stories
that have survived to be preserved, processed and studied are a
precious legacy. The "Whale Hunt" collection is second book in this
series of true historical accounts of Naskapi life told by a
Naskapi speaker.
