Very informative
I found this very interesting. I've never looked into the mythology of the Inuit people before so this was great for me. It told me a lot about the history of the people and all the myths that go with that history. As someone that had no idea about this subject I now feel like I could hold a discussion with other people or share what I've learned about Inuit mythology with friends and family. Highly recommended if you need a refresher or like me, have never looked into this before now

Wow, a great and superb collection!
This audiobook is amazing, indeed. I didnt know nothing about the Inuit people, so it was a first encounter to me.
I liked very much the huge introduction at the beginning of the audiobook, giving us an interesting overview of the culture, history, and background.
The books included in the collection are three, all of them are a huge treausure of knowledge and folklore. My favorite one was the second one, Tales and Traditions of the Eskimo (i'm grateful for the language info, very very interesting)
And finally, about the narrator, he just did an excellent work, 5 stars to him.

Fascinating collection
I have enjoyed listening to this bumper collection of stories and history of the Inuit people.
It's a long collection nearly 22 hours in total.
Though I had no prior knowledge of these stories, this audiobook has piqued my interest to find out more about Inuit traditions and further stories. I was amazed to discover that the words Kayak and Anorak are both of Inuit origin.
The stories contain information that is still relevant today, one story touches on the concept of sustainable hunting - you can hunt the seal only when i tell you, if you hunt too early you will never taste seal again.
On a few of the stories it is was difficult to know when that story had ended and the new story had begun, but this didn't detract from the listening experience.
