‘Memory is so different now’: the translation and circulation of Inuit-Canadian literature in English and FrenchFootnote^*

* This line is borrowed from Louis Tapardjuk, one of the founders of Igloolik Oral History Project (qtd. in Richler, Citation2006, p. 87). The IOHP aimed to preserve Inuit cultural traditions and knowledge through a total of 400 taped interviews with elders in the community, capturing knowledge that is at risk of disappearing forever following decades of colonialism.
