The Giant Bear is an exciting traditional Inuit folktale retold by Jose Angutinngurniq and illustrated by Eva Widermann. It’s an excellent story supporting an Inuit theme or focus, as it draws students into the excitement and suspense of Inuit traditional stories.
This book and unit is featured in my blog: Infusing Indigenous Literature: Top 10 Inuit Traditional Tales
I recommend checking out Strong Nations, an online bookstore supplying Indigenous books. Not only do they have an extensive selection, they provide themed book bundles for all age ranges.
