Ukaliatsiaq is the name of a young Tunit woman living a lonely existence among family and fellows in the neighbourhood of Smith Sound, in northernmost Greenland. Her life changes dramatically one summer when Umimmak arrives at her village. He has travelled to her settlement from far away in order to barter for meteoric iron, but also to take Ukaliatsiaq as his apprentice. Together they travel to distant areas and through the darkest nooks and crannies of their minds.
The story takes place in the 12th century, exactly at the time when Inuit for the first time crossed the large delta at the mouth of the Mackenzie-river, on the border between present-day Alaska and Canada. Within a few generations, The Inuit had settled all parts of arctic Canada and Greenland and The Tunit had disappeared into the mists of history.
The Ermine/Ukaliatsiaq is the second volume in the series “Qqaluttuaq/Stories” and is produced in close collaboration between, the writer and artist, Nuka K. Godtfredsen, the Greenlandic Ilinniusiorfik schoolbook company and the National Museum of Denmark. Their goal is to reach a broad audience – especially children – with the fascinating and original stories, based on the latest archaeological research in Greenland.
