Backlist Titles 22 Our authors, storytellers, and artists bring traditional knowledge to life in Inhabit Community Imprint 54 a way that is accessible to readers both familiar and unfamiliar with Inuit culture and traditions. Periodicals 55 Incorporated in 2006, Inhabit Media was born out of a need for Nunavut kids to see their culture accurately represented in the books they read in schools. We have spent the last ten years working with elders and storytellers from across the Canadian Arctic to ensure that the region’s unique Inuit oral history is recorded and not lost to future generations. Many of the stories that we publish have never been written down before, having existed for centuries as tales passed orally from generation to generation. While many of these stories are ancient, we work closely with elders, contemporary Inuit writers, and illustrators the world over to present folktales and traditional stories in a format that will resonate with modern audiences across North America. Our books do not simply provide a glimpse into Inuit culture; they also represent the preservation of oral history and traditional knowledge that may otherwise have been lost, in a format that contemporary readers will find engaging, entertaining, and informative. As the first independent publishing company in Nunavut, we are excited to bring Arctic stories and wisdom to the world!
