Scope and content
This file contains four typewritten documents regarding Takornaq and her daughter Atuat's encounter with Ataguttaaluk: an excerpt from the book Intellectual Culture of the Hudson Bay Eskimos. Reports of the Fifth Thule Expedition 1921-1924 by Knud Rasmussen, the article "History of a Case of Cannibalism in Baffin Land" by Guy Mary-Rousseliere from the magazine ESKIMO Vol. 81 (Summer 1969), an interview with Takornaq regarding Ataguttaaluk, and a summary of Petrone's work "Atuat's Grim Tale of Cannibalism" from her book Northern Voices: Inuit Writing in English. There is also a handwritten note indicating that Atuat is the adopted daughter of Takornaq. The name Takornaq is spelled as "Tagornaq" several times in these documents.
