Based on elder interviews from more than one hundred years ago, these stories reveal the fearsome giants that once stalked the arctic.

Since that first experience in the Arctic, Nunavut has been the only place he has been able to call home. Neil has worked with many community members to record and preserve traditional Inuit stories. Together with his colleague, Louise Flaherty, and his brother, Danny Christopher, Neil started a small publishing company in Nunavut called Inhabit Media Inc., and has since been working to promote Northern stories and authors.Widermann, Eva: - Eva Widermann is a graduate of the graphic and design program at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, Germany.
