Book Description
===================
Sanaaq is an intimate story of an Inuit family negotiating the changes
brought into their community by the coming of the qallunaat, the white
people, in the mid-nineteenth century. Composed in 48 episodes, it
recounts the daily life of Sanaaq, a strong and outspoken young widow,
her daughter Qumaq, and their small semi-nomadic community in northern
Quebec. Here they live their lives hunting seal, repairing their
kayak, and gathering mussels under blue sea ice before the tide comes
in. These are ordinary extraordinary lives: marriages are made and
unmade, children are born and named, violence appears in the form of a
fearful husband or a hungry polar bear. Here the spirit world is alive
and relations with non-humans are never taken lightly. And under it
all, the growing intrusion of the qallunaat and the battle for souls
between the Catholic and Anglican missionaries threatens to forever
change the way of life of Sanaaq and her young family.
