Description

Lorsque Jake reçoit enfin son propre chiot, il ne pense qu’au chien de traineau rapide et fort que celui-ci deviendra. Mais Kamik est encore loin d’être obéissant. Il n’écoute pas et répand de la boue partout dans la maison . . . Élever un chien est très exigeant, beaucoup plus que ce que Jake aurait pu croire! Mais lors d’une visite chez son grand-père, qui a lui-même élevé de nombreux chiens, Jake apprend que les Inuits élèvent des chiots depuis des générations afin qu’ils deviennent des chiens obéissants, ingénieux et serviables.

Inspiré des souvenirs d’un ainé d’Arviat, au Nunavut, ce livre parle d’élevage traditionnel des chiens de traineau, à l’époque où les Inuits comptaient sur les chiens pour se déplacer et pour survivre.

About the Authors

Donald Uluadluak was an elder from Arviat, Nunavut. He was born in Arviat and raised by his grandparents, when Inuit were nomadic and depended on game for survival. He was an elder advisor for the Nunavut Department of Education for several years. After he retired, he began recording memories and recollections from his life to publish as books for future generations. Kamik: An Inuit Puppy Story is the first book to be based on these fond memories. He was passionate about teaching the younger generation so that they would in turn pass on the knowledge he shared.
