Grandmother... tell me another story.

One time, a raven flew over the beach.

Suddenly a bowhead whale surfaced and swallowed it whole.

Inside the whale... it was very dark!

Like a cave.

In the distance the raven saw the flickering light of an oil lamp.

A girl was trying desperately to keep the light from dying.

The raven heard the girl's voice:

"You must be faithful to me. Promise never to touch this light."

The raven promised, I'll never touch it!

But when the girl returned to her work

the raven forgot his promise and touched the lamp

and when the light went out the girl fell over, dead.

The raven realized his terrible mistake.

The girl had taken possession of the raven's soul

and when the light went out, so did the raven's heart.

That's the end of my story.

Husband, we have traveled far Maniq and I.

It started as a beautiful summer.

Maniq and I were always together,

as if we never tired of being together.

We were happy to see new faces,

our old friends coming to visit us.

Father, look at what I found!

Yes... Sometimes we find strange things.

Mother... he is always happy when he is with his Grandmother.

Look!

They are arriving! Finally!

Look at his sharp knife!

I'll take you as a husband with that knife!

You'll fatten me up fast!

One time, my companions and I were hunting caribou,

butchering and drying the meat.

We saw a strange boat coming

that landed on the beach.

We stopped and hid behind some rocks

so we could watch what they did.

They unloaded strange things we never saw before.

The same as this knife I have here.

Made of material like this.

Really smooth and sharp.

Is it a stone?

It is not stone, it is something else.

Let me see it.

They even had needles of the same material.

The way they greeted, they took the hand.

Here, let me show you... very powerful, like this.

Everybody?

Yes, everybody's hand...very powerful.

Besides water, they had another liquid.

It shattered if you dropped it.

We tried to drink it but it tasted awful!

We couldn't even swallow it, it burned the throat!

Then they would laugh, they would get really happy.

They would even fall down.

They seemed to lose their minds.

They smiled all the time and stopped being scary.

The same thing happened to us!

After drinking they really wanted to be with our women.

They said, if we wanted one needle,

they would have to spend one night with a woman.

Two needles...two nights.

Of course our women wanted needles!

Kukik's story.... How can that be?

His stories were really amazing.

Kukik and his wild stories!

A big ship just comes out of nowhere...

Women sleep with strangers to get needles!

Let us sleep with them then!

They'll think we're too old!

How about a little old man?

Then it will be our turn to think he's old and ugly!

These days I am always thinking of my childhood.

I'm so old I am drying out, thirsty all the time.

My tent feels large when you don't visit.

These days I can walk around better.

When you go dry fish on the island, I want to go with you.

Here I feel useless but there I can help you.

Yes, of course.

At our age, only our memories keep us from feeling alone.

Mother, why are you going to the island this year?

It's time to let younger women go to dry all the fish.

I worry about you being alone.

A young man could go along to help his Grandmother do the work.

I can help dry the fish, and go get water...

chase away birds... and if Grandmother gets sick I will take care of her.

Katigaq! Don't forget to feed my puppy!

Wait for me, Ningioq! Don't leave me behind without you!

Make an old woman happy with her last wish.

She wants to go.

Dear friend, I'm happy to have you beside me.

Let's go! Don't be so slow!

The fish are already drying out.

We'll come back to get you before the ice starts to freeze.

You can change your mind and come back with us.

No one will stop you.

I want to stay here, to be Grandmother's helper.

Son...

I want you to have my harpoon.

When you come home

you'll learn to kayak and we'll go hunting together.

I picked some berries.

Are they for me?

Thank you, kind boy.

You picked them for me?

Give me some water.

Thank you, boy, for helping me.

Try to help your grandmother when I'm gone.

I don't think I have long to live.

Really....

I think so.

You understand my friend,

I just had a dream.

It was a beautiful dream.

Of little children.

I was pregnant.

One was a human being...

The other looked like a bear cub.

I loved them both.

But I loved one more than the other, I don't know why.

I took a harpoon.

And pierced the cub on its back.

It died right away!

The human child shrank until it vanished.

And went back into my womb.

I understand my dream.

I really wanted to bear a child myself

but I adopted one.

It felt like he was my own.

I love him very much.

Maybe you will be able to tell this story to my son?

I will tell him of your dream.

I will tell him everything.

There won't be long to wait for them now.

It's almost time for caribou hunting.

It's normal to feel homesick but your parents will be very proud of you.

Your catch is delicious.

This is for my dear friend.

Take a bite of this for her and she'll be happy.

Tell me the story of your seal so I can tell your father.

How did you catch it?

It was my first seal so I was really trembling.

No wonder, and what else?

When I couldn't pull it up,

I used all my strength.

I tied it to a rock.

I rested for a moment and I ran here to tell you.

How did you see it?

I saw it going in and out of the water.

When it came near I stabbed it with my harpoon.

You are so able now.

I love you very much.

Let's get some sleep.

Husband...

How much longer could we wait?

Stay here!

Hold on to the boat!

Your father and all of them are dead!

You cannot go see them, they're too shocking to see.

Needles from strangers! They brought this sickness to everyone!

Look at those clouds!

Our tent!

Our tent is down!

Really and it is torn!

I want this nightmare to end!

Where are all the people!

Hurry! We'll move to the cave where we cached the meat!

Husband, I was tired.

I needed help for our grandson.

How could he live without parents or companionship?

I was so tired!

Are you going to keep asking me to tell you more stories?

Of course you are!

A little ptarmigan.

It really looks like one.

Like this.

I have heard that they haven't always been ptarmigans.

There was an old woman and her grandson who were all alone, maybe like us?

When the grandson went to bed he asked his grandmother to tell a story.

'Grandmother, please tell me a story.'

'I don't have any stories, get comfortable and go to sleep!'

But the child insisted and started to cry, 'Grandmother tell me a story....'

Finally, the grandmother started to tell:

'...Story...Story... ...Baby lemmings...having no fur...

'...Arms folded in... ...Start falling...feels ticklish...'

The grandson was so startled, he shouted 'TEEOOK!' and flew off.

He turned into a snow bunting and flew away right out the air hole.

The grandmother looked all around and said, 'Grandson, where did you go?'

Again and again, 'Where are you?'

Then she cried so much, and she wiped her eyes so much,

that her eyes turned red, but she couldn't find him.

Finally, she put her needles into her boots.

Then she took her oil lamp wick and hung it around her neck.

That's the collar filled with seeds around the ptarmigan's neck.

And then she went, Ap-ap-ap-ap-ap! And flew off to join her grandson.

He was so startled he turned into a snow bunting!

She went flying right out after him!

Too bad! But it must have been all right as long as they were together again.

That's the end of that story.

Look!

The bad spirit keeps coming closer.

Now our hunters are going to the ship.

Grandmother, why did those strangers hurt our family?

I don't know. I never knew any of them.

Maybe you'll find out when you grow up.

Can you sing your favorite song to help me sleep?

Let me sing slowly...

Let me sing slowly... Let me find a song to sing...

Let me go travelling...

Let me go travelling... To that island far away...

I will be so happy...

I will be so happy... When I see you coming...

When will you come home...?

Will you come home... When you hear me sing this song?

Husband!

I feel your love strongly.

If someone comes this way, these will help them see us.

This sealskin is yellow. If you slide with it the yellow comes off.

Have a bite.

So sharp!

Grandmother, now that I know more about hunting and kayaking,

why can't we move somewhere else?

I know of a beautiful place

where there is always good hunting and plenty of meat for all,

but it's far away.

It's far but everyone there is very well off.

All the women are good at sewing;

they have different styles and their clothes are beautiful.

The children are very able, even though they are just children.

Do they play, too?

Yes, of course they must play like children.

But it's very far, it's long and difficult to go there.

We'll wait until spring, when your puppies are well trained.

Over there, you'll be better than all of them.

Maniq was always hopeful and tried hard to help.

But what would become of him if something happened to me?

No child can live alone.

I cleaned this skin yesterday, try to use the dry part.

This one will be your lead dog.

I name him Iyagutlik.

And this one? I name it Uqiuqtaq.

Loveable puppies. Your lead dog's other eye.

They're hungry, give them to the mother so she can feed them.

Can you make me a whip for my dogs before we leave here?

I'll learn to use it this winter.

Of course. I'll make your whip long and comfortable to use.

Here's a breathing hole.

Try to not move your feet.

The wind is really calm.

I'll walk around to make noise.

The seal will come to you.

I'm cold.

It won't be so cold when we go south to that beautiful place.

Look out! Wolves are coming!

Quick! Run!

Hide under the boat!

Want a bite?

No, not right now.

Put some seal fat on my neck.

Put some more, it burns.

Grandmother...

Grandson.

You are so able now, even looking after me.

It was so cold and windy, I was scared we wouldn't get back.

Dear little one, don't be scared. The darkness is friends with the light.

I love you, you don't have to be afraid of the dark.

We are going through hard times right now but we will survive.

When we go to that beautiful place we'll have lots of stories to tell.

Yes, of course.

Maybe we'll have to talk all the time with so many stories to tell.

Even though we were alone, we did a lot this summer.

Our tent was swept away by the wind.

All our relatives passed away.

You caught your first seal.

Even with no tent, we found this cave to make a safe home indoors.

We could have been stranded outdoors with no shelter to protect us.

We told each other so many stories, and planned a happier future.

Dear little one, I love you so much, you are so able now.

You learned so much.

You are able now, and I love you, my little one.

Dear one...little grandson... sweet able young man...

Husband! Help me!

No child can live alone.

Let me sing slowly...

Let me sing slowly... Let me find a song to sing...

When will you come home...?

Will you come home... When you hear me sing this song?

I will be so happy...

I will be so happy... When I see you coming...
