The story of Uvajuq (oo-va-yook) is rooted in a tim e when people and animals live d in such harmony and unit y that they could speak to each other. For Inuit, as for people who se traditions include the story of the Garden of Eden, this idyllic e x istence came to an abrupt end a long time a go . The story told here, in word s and pictures, speaks of that ancient event and of the transition to an ex istence where a different kind of sharing prevails. This old Inuit legend has recently taken on an entirely new dimension in Cam bridge Bay, with the uncovering of a unique array of artifacts during an archaeological survey of the hill known as Uvajuq. The my sterious find offers a compelling confluence of myth and reality. The legend of Uvajuq, as told here, was collected from a group of Inuit elders in the Nu nav ut community of Cambridge Bay, 300 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. On the surface, it is the story of how three pro mi nent hills near the community were formed. Underlying that is a tale of much deeper significance.
