“My children tell stories of the ancient world, the old world. They search for Little People on the tundra, little beings not taller than a human hand. They tell stories of strong men who stayed underwater for days. The strong men cupped their hands against the ocean floor, breathing with pockets of air made by their cupped hands. My children try to forget death by telling these old stories. They’ve carried dead bodies to the graveyard with their own youthful hands.” DeathHealingIndigenousArcticIndigenous PeoplesInupiaqLittle Peoples Book:Sivulliq: Ancestor Source: Sivulliq: Ancestor
