<p>"The story is charming and engaging, with a fresh and authentic feeling...An inspired retelling of a beloved tale."—<em>Kirkus</em></p>
<p>"Reminiscent of the three little pigs, this story of three brothers attempting to survive a blizzard demonstrates the importance of preparation—and of heeding the wisdom of your elders."—<em>Foreword Reviews</em></p>
<p><em>"</em><em>The Three Hunters</em> is another worthwhile addition to school and public library shelves and a useful curriculum adjunct to studies of the North."—<em>CM: Canadian Review of Materials</em></p>

<p><em>The Three Hunters</em> is a play on the early fairytale <em>The Three Pigs</em>, though rather than a big bad wolf, the wind wreaks havoc on the three hunters. Inuktitut phrases are entwined in the text, giving the story the appeal of authentic Indigenous voice. The message in the story, to pay attention to the Teachings of your Elders, does not go unnoticed as the eldest brother, Akkiutaq, rescues his younger brothers and brings them to the secure shelter of his igloo. Children will make connections to this story, which would be a great addition to any primary-level classroom library.</p>

Akagaq, the youngest brother of three, is confident but forgetful. When he gets caught in a blizzard he makes a tent, but it is no match for the powerful winds. Trapped in the cold, Akagaq is helped by his brother Tiriaq. Tiriaq digs into a snowdrift for shelter, but the wind is still too strong and blows out their lamp. Akkiutaq, the eldest brother, arrives to save them, and brings them to the iglu he has carefully built. The wind threatens to destroy the iglu as well, but the shelter proves strong, and the brothers are safe. The brothers learn an important lesson about paying attention to their Elders, and taking care in what they do.

It was the result of a year’s worth of learning at Leo Ussak School in Kangiqliniq (Rankin Inlet), Nunavut. The class had completed a social studies unit about Inuit traditions and was reading a variety of fairy tales and noticed a number of retellings of the “Three Little Pigs.” The class decided to write their own version set in Nunavut in the past. Every day after lunch for several weeks the class wrote, read, and edited their story. Also important to this story are the contributions of the school counselor, Noah Tiktak and learning coach Trudi Bruce. Noah and Trudi led a session on traditional tools that sparked the students’ imagination. Noah also helped with the translation and spelling of Inuktitut terms as well as provided his encouragement and support.
