Book Description
"Come hear of Châhkâpâs, the Naskapi figure known for feats of strength and skill in spite of his diminutive size! Châhkâpâs / A Naskapi Legend shares the story of Châhkâpâs -- a heroic figure in First Nations storytelling, who performs feats of strength and skill in spite of his diminutive size. The book shares this traditional legend as originally recorded in the Naskapi community in northern Quebec in 1967 when it was narrated by John Peastitute, a Naskapi Elder and accomplished storyteller. Transcribed in the Naskapi language and syllabic orthography, the book offers a literary resource for the Naskapi language community, and the English translation enables those unfamiliar with the language, or the story, to discover this important legend. The book also contains extensive analysis of stories about Châhkâpâs, notes about the provenance of the recordings, a biography of the story-teller, and a history of the Naskapi people. Lavish illustrations from Elizabeth Jancewicz--an artist raised in the Naskapi community -- provide a sensitive and accurate graphical account of the legend, -- which has also been approved by Naskapi speakers themselves. John Peastitute (1896-1981) was a Naskapi Elder who was well respected as a story-keeper and as a storyteller. His repertoire of both tipâchimûna and âtiyûhkinch (stories from a distant "time before now," often called legends) was extensive, and his performances were engaging. The tapes of his stories that have survived to be studied are a precious legacy."--

Book Description
This is Kaniuekutat's book. In it, he tells the story of his life and that of Innu culture in the northern parts of Labrador. The pages of this book are filled with the voice of Kaniuekutat giving his account of an Innu hunter's life and the problems and distress that have been caused by sedentarization and village life. Kaniuekutat invites us to see Innu society and culture from the inside, the way he lives it and reflects upon it. He was greatly concerned that young Innu may lose their traditional culture and the skills necessary to make a living as hunters, and wanted to convey a message: the Innu must take care of their language, their culture and their traditions.
