Summary:
In August 1880, businessman Adrian Jakobsen convinced eight Inuit from Hebron and Nakvak, Labrador, to accompany him to Europe to be “exhibited” in zoos. By January 1881, all eight had died in Europe of smallpox. The story is told from several different perspectives, from Moravian letters and reports, to a scholarly article, newspaper pieces, and even advertising. The core of the book is
Abraham
Ulrikab’s own diary of the trip, translated for the first time into English. It is the earliest known Inuit autobiography.
