Library-quality hardcover book with dust-jacket. This book is a collection of short stories in Naskapi that features the "historical account" traditional Algonquian storytelling genre, tipchimna (stories). The book features some eyewitness accounts of tragic and exciting events on the land and water, ice and snow, as well as first-person accounts of the storyteller's own adventures and skill as a hunter and provider. This is the seventh book in a series prepared for reading in Naskapi and in English by the Naskapi Development Corporation. John Peastitute (1896-1981) was a Naskapi Elder who was a well respected as a story-keeper and storyteller. His repertoire of both tipchimna and tiyhkinich was extensive, and his performances engaging. The tape recordings of his stories that have survived to be preserved, processed and studied are a precious legacy. The "Otter Hunting" collection is third book in this sub-series of true historical accounts of Naskapi life told by a Naskapi speaker.
