Mitiarjuk Nappaaluk
- ... that after learning to write with Inuktitut syllabics to help Catholic missionaries learn her language, Mitiarjuk Nappaaluk wrote one of the first Inuktitut-language novels? Source: "In the early 1950s, a young woman named Mitiarjuk Nappaaluk, living in Kangiqsujuaq, Nunavik, was asked by the Oblate missionary Father Robert Lechat to write down some Inuktitut sentences so that he could develop his vocabulary in the language... But Mitiarjuk soon carried this task beyond its pragmatic origins; fleshing out her descriptions of daily life with characters and plotlines, she ultimately produced a "novel" – a long work of fiction – that was published in Inuktitut syllabics in 1984... Sanaaq is not the first Inuit novel to appear in print... But it is one of just a handful, and so Sanaaq is sure to garner a lot of attention from southern readers." [1]
