Nauja narrates about her world and the daily routines of the Inuit: "Where we live, how we play, how we learn, in my Igloo, Daddy on hunt, our legends and songs, when the Whites came...."
A combination-game challenges the young hunters. You'll have to load a sledge to prepare for a long sledge-journey. Don't think this is quite easy. Another game helps you to learn the language of the Inuit a bit. You also have the opportunity to check your knowledge about this culture and their environment playfully.

The Last Victory of the Witch-Doctor
Observations and adventures among indigenous people

Umschau-Verlag, 204 pages,
ISBN 3-524-66012-6, 24,- €

The book deals with five Minority groups: The Eskimo, the Papuas in New Guinee, the Turkana in Africa, the Kalinga, head-hunters in North-Luzon (Philippines) and the Tangwah.
Every group is being mentioned by a descriptive chapter and a chapter about an adventure. With the Eskimo, this is the narration of the sledge-expedition from Greenland to Canada, polar-bear- and walrus-hunt, as well as a description of the difficulties, one has to overcome during such an endeavor.

The book is no longer available in book-stores, a few samples are still available here.
