"Can you imagine western culture without Homer's Odysseus? In Canada, in the minds of Inuit elders, lives a shaman/hero of equal power suppressed for a century. 'You know what this is, don't you?' asks elder Samson Quinangnaq (1924 2006), 'It's the secret Bible of the Inuit. Kiviuq was a prophet, and these stories are his parables.' Inuit were forbidden by missionaries to speak of their ancient hero -- but many elders believe he is still alive today. In this genre-defying performing arts film by the award-winning team of director John Houston and producer Peter d'Entremont, joined by emerging producer Kirt Ejesiak, the last elders raised on stories of Kiviuq's odyssey collaborate with youth to reveal perhaps to resurrect their secret Bible."--Container.
