About Us

nhabit Media Inc. is the first Inuit-owned, independent publishing company in the Canadian Arctic. We aim to promote and preserve the stories, knowledge, and talent of the Arctic, while also supporting research in Inuit mythology and the traditional Inuit knowledge of Nunavummiut (residents of Nunavut, Canada’s northernmost territory). Our authors, storytellers, and artists bring traditional knowledge to life in a way that is accessible to readers both familiar and unfamiliar with Inuit culture and traditions. 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

“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.” 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!

The Fox Wife

Written by Beatrice Deer | Illustrated by DJ Herron

n a cloudless summer night, a fox falls to earth and comes across a family of humans. As the seasons change and they move their camp, she follows them, growing ever more intrigued by human ways—and especially by the oldest son, Irniq.

English Hardcover ISBN: 978-1-77227-212-3 October 2018 | $16.95 9” x 7.5” | 40 pages Full-colour illustrations throughout | Graphic novel Ages 7–9 Inuktitut Paperback ᑎᕆᒐᓐᓂᐊᑉ ᐊᕐᓇᖓ ISBN: 978-1-77227-223-9 $12.95

When Irniq grows older and sets out hunting on his own, he is surprised to enter his tent one day and find the lamp lit, the tea made . . . and a strange woman who says she is his wife. Tired of being alone, Irniq welcomes the woman. But soon he grows curious and cannot stop himself from asking too many questions. Where did the fox pelt hanging outside their tent come from? And why did the fox that had been following him suddenly disappear? Based on award-winning musician Beatrice Deer’s powerful song “Fox,” this graphic novel reinterprets a traditional Inuit story for a new generation. Beatrice Deer is a singer, a seamstress, and an advocate for good health. Her skills as a seamstress were passed down to her from the women in her family in Quaqtaq, a tiny village on the northeastern coast of Quebec, in a region called Nunavik, meaning “massive land.” Beatrice has four albums under her belt, including an award-winner for Best Inuit Cultural Album at the 2005 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards. Beatrice has been based in Montreal since 2007. She travels north to perform and reconnect with her family ties on a regular basis. The Fox Wife is Beatrice’s first book. DJ Herron studied animation at Loyalist College, where she spent the bulk of her time designing characters and writing stories. When not storyboarding, sculpting, or designing monsters, she is likely to be found thumbing through fashion history and old medieval etiquette books.

The fast-rising Northern stars The Jerry Cans create music inspired by their hometown of Iqaluit, Nunavut. With their unique mix of Inuktitut altcountry, throat singing, and reggae, The Jerry Cans are a distinctly Northern, one-of-a-kind group. The band members perform many of their songs in Inuktitut and are passionate about preserving the language, even as the North and their home community of Iqaluit evolve. They are committed to representing Northerners and to challenging common misperceptions they have encountered about life in the Arctic; their music evokes the contemporary North and the spirited people who reside there. It is not only their political motives, but their rapidly developing reputation for getting elders and young people dancing, that has forced people to start noticing this high-energy group. This truly unique band will take you on a stroll through the streets of Iqaluit to share a glimpse of life in the Arctic. Eric Kim is an illustrator, comic artist, and animator. He has done illustration work for Owl Magazine, Sinking Ship Entertainment, and Chapterhouse Comics, where he most recently illustrated Northguard. He lives with his wife in Toronto.

ake’s puppy is growing quickly, but as Jake soon realizes, he isn’t becoming any easier to handle. All Jake wants is to raise his puppy to be a strong, fast sled dog, but Kamik is far from ready to pull with a dog team. With some advice and a little help from his grandmother, Jake learns basic principles of how to begin training a dog to pull. Kamik finally has his first sled, and he and Jake can begin exploring the tundra together. But Jake and Kamik are still inexperienced, and when a blizzard starts blowing in across the tundra, Jake must rely on his knowledge to get home. Matilda Sulurayok is an elder who resides in Arviat, Nunavut. Her family lived a traditional life and raised several sled dogs. Kamik’s First Sled is the first book to be based on Matilda’s memories of traditional dog rearing. Qin Leng is a designer and illustrator who has published children’s books around the world. She has won the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature and has been a Governor General’s Award finalist.
