The book challenges common misconceptions about Inuit culture by debunking three prevalent myths: the idea that there are fifty-two words for snow, the existence of blond, blue-eyed Inuit with Viking ancestry, and the practice of sending elders to die on ice floes. Aimed at introductory students, it provides a lively and informative exploration of these topics, fostering a deeper understanding of Inuit traditions and realities.
