"I can only sing this song... to someone who understands it." "Let's hear it." "When you sing, you laugh at the same time." "It must be because you're winning too!" "It's fun to sing... and play a game at the same time." "Since your clothes are different, take a look at mine." "If you show me yours, I'll..." "No, I don't want any lessons from some up-north stranger." "You don't know these designs." "My wife knows first-hand." "Tulimaq!" "Take the children out." "Son..." "Big boys have to go out." "Oki, you too." "Go play with Amaqjuat." "I never had any brothers, so I just adore little boys." "Some water you can keep warm." "Sister, if you ever need me..." "Yes, I know you'll come when I call for help in my heart." "Take my husband's rabbit's foot." "You'll need it some day." "Tulimaq is the one they'll go after now." "We never knew what he was, or why it happened." "Evil came to us like Death." "It just happened, and we had to live with it." "Here." "Be careful what you wish for." "You helped him murder your own father!" "Tulimaq is the one they'll go after now." "Tulimaq!" "Their balls are too big!" "Where's Tulimaq?" "With those starving dogs." "Maybe he'll get home tomorrow!" "Another bad day out there." "I broke my knife on a rock." "I'm sick of this bad luck." "Amaqjuat, come." "My big man, how much I love you!" "Atanarjuat is hungry too." "Atanarjuat, are you hungry?" "Are you cold too?" "Tulimaq!" "Come get a little something for your wife's empty belly." "Tulimaq, the great hunter!" "Your share is the rear end, as usual." "Maybe your wife's a better hunter?" "You can stay home tomorrow and do the cooking and sewing!" "Daylight's getting longer." " Hunting will be better soon." " Good." "I'm sick of eating leftovers." "Especially the rear end." "Here, a piece of walrus heart." "Your sons need to eat more." "They will help us all some day." "Here, Amaqjuat." "Eat." "When my sons grow up, I'll never be treated like this again." "Amaqjuat, share with your brother." "You must never forget to take care of Atanarjuat." "Atanarjuat, come on!" "Amaqjuat, it's too heavy!" "No wonder mother said I should always take care of you." "If you want to lift a heavy rock, think of it as a woman's butt." "Then you'll be able to lift it." "Look!" "Oki's gang is walking again." "They lost their dogs." "Our dogs ran home." "I'm tired of walking." "We'll borrow yours." "Asshole." "Brother, run them down." "Taking a break?" "Who's "it"?" "Atanarjuat?" "I'm the wolf!" "I'm hungry for human skin!" "Nobody can ever catch Atuat!" "Except lovely Atanarjuat!" "Maybe Atuat wants to be caught!" "Especially when we play wolf on the skin!" "Ooh, Atanarjuat!" "I "wolf" you." "You and your brother!" "Don't forget, Atuat is promised to me!" "Brother!" "If Atuat's your promised wife, why aren't you married already?" "Exactly!" "Atanarjuat's in my way!" "Maybe you need your sister to distract Atanarjuat first?" "Pakak!" "Pittiulak!" "Get him off me!" "Amaqjuat is really strong!" "You little...!" "You're trying to steal my promised wife!" "Let's do it right now!" "Oki..." "Little Mother, you're just as beautiful" "as I remember you when I was a child in your arms." "When I was your mother?" "Was my namesake very beautiful?" "Did you love me very much?" "Of course!" "That's why I named you Atuat!" "I recognized you right away." "Little mother," "I don't want you to marry my grandson, Oki." "He's a mean man, like his father." "Ever since that stranger murdered my husband... evil lives in both of them!" "How can I refuse Oki when our fathers already agreed?" "Next time, I'll break your neck!" "What are you all looking at?" "Haven't you ever seen anyone kick a dog before?" "Why's Oki so angry?" "His dogs can't keep up with me." "He's fed up always running behind." "What?" "What did you say?" "Are you making fun of me?" "If you think you can laugh in my face," "I'll kill you!" "When will that be?" "My brother's a real jerk!" "Dogteam!" "Now it's the other brother." "Maybe more trouble?" "My little son!" "Wonderful!" "Our igloo will never be cold." "With Atanarjuat, my little son." "Wonderful!" "Let me kiss my little boy!" "Look at his heavy load!" "Little man, you took a long time!" "Did the spirits make you lose the trail?" "We'll have lots of meat now!" "Tomorrow..." "Tomorrow, I'll make..." "I'll make a feast!" "Meat at our place!" "Tulimaq has a good idea!" "A big igloo for games and a feast!" " What are you looking at?" " Me?" "I'm looking at Atuat." "That's it!" "You brothers think you can do anything!" "If you want Atuat, you have to go through me first!" "They're going to punch heads for a woman?" "Now someone will get hurt!" "This one's no good." "Too small?" "Atanarjuat!" "Something to drink?" "Save your strength, you two!" "Tonight you'll have your chance!" "Maybe a little tighter?" "Dogs are restless tonight." "Ready?" "Imagine!" "Oki thinks it's easy to kill me." "Did he say that?" "Did he throw those words out loud?" "Oki was out of control today." "A man who's serious about killing would keep it to himself." "He said the words "kill you"?" "What are you going to do?" "Now Oki can try it any time he wants!" "I don't even think about Oki." "You, you're never afraid." "But me..." "Oki is a lot stronger than I am." "Instead of you, he'll kill me!" "Oki, this isn't about you..." "So you can just keep dancing." " Finally we'll be in-laws!" " Of course!" "That's been agreed." " We waited a long time for this." " Since our children were babies." "We'll have a great night tonight." "What's your problem now?" "!" "I'm always clumsy." "It's me." "I didn't see you." "Little Mother, come and sit beside me." "Wife, sing my father's song." "A big man won't even" "Bring home enough food." "If what's hanging" "Between your thighs gets stiff," "Don't let it blast off!" "Who blames his friends" "For his empty bed?" "Normal people do it in the right place," "But you always get in the wrong one." "Save your strength." "Tulimaq, you're smiling now." "Sitting on top of the hill." "But it's a long way down, and he's just getting started." "Well, let's see those two step into the centre!" "If it's up, Atanarjuat goes first." "If it's down, Oki has the first blow." "Oki, you go first." "Husband, the Evil One is here, we need your help." "I'm the boss here!" "Atuat's already promised to us!" "My grandson bet for Atuat by his own choice." "Little one!" "Now you're getting somewhere!" "Oki, finally you're made weightless!" "This bedrock," "Cool and smooth," "When it split and I stepped out," "Were you as shocked as I to see?" "Here at the river," "Here, where it narrows," "That strange voice singing in the wind" "Don't you keep on hearing me?" "When I whistled" "That same tune," "Were you the one" "Who whistled back from that hill-top far away?" "You in there!" "Don't you know your brother's coming in?" "Tulimaq!" "Atanarjuat is coming in." "What a day!" "Tired?" "No, just overheated." "What a beautiful day!" "It was amazing out there!" "How're you feeling?" "I was feeling tired all day." "It's getting hard to walk around now." "No wonder!" "Your belly is really big now!" "Do I look as big as I feel?" "Let's have a listen." "He just kicked me!" "He's a good little kicker!" "Can you really hear it?" " You caught a nice seal!" " Yes, I got a good one." "Out by the floating ice." "I saw a lot of them." " The wind is changing fast." " Yes, it already turned around." "South wind will be stormy now." "Walrus are coming early this year." "Amaqjuat, I need you here to help me with the hunt." "Your brother will have to go caribou hunting without you this year." "You, all alone out there?" "In my time, men needed to have two wives." "First wives didn't always like it when they got left behind." "Don't look at my wife, brother." "You better find somebody else!" "Hey, you're in luck!" "There's an extra family in Sauri's camp!" "They're right on your road!" "Are you serious?" "Sauri's camp?" "A man with a big nose!" "He has two daughters with him and they're both really ugly!" "Maybe you can borrow one?" "Puja!" "Working hard?" "My goodness!" "Why is water so heavy?" "Atanarjuat." "And he's all alone." "Are you walking to us?" "What a surprise!" "Welcome!" "Come eat with us!" "You must be tired." "Atanarjuat, meet my new wife!" "Me too!" "I married her sister!" "What do you think about that?" "Good for you." "Welcome to my camp!" "I'm happy to see you!" "You'll rest with us for a while." "How's my little mother, Atuat?" "Father, let's make a feast for him!" "Delicious!" "Take a lot." "Don't be shy." "Yes, we just came in with meat." "We saw caribou all over the place up there!" "But the ground is very rough." "My boots needed lots of new soles." "You better have extras." "I used up two pairs!" "Where's your wife?" "She's too pregnant this year." "You're not going alone?" "Sister, you were sad this year to stay behind with Grandmother." "If Atanarjuat needs help, why don't you go with him?" "My clothes are all new." "I'm sure I'll be okay." "Not for long!" "The caribou are very far." "Oh, yes, they're far." "Really far." "I don't mind if she goes along, even if she is our best worker." "So it's settled." "Daughter, pack and get ready." "I'm always ready, father." "My small tent is perfect for two." "I'll lend it to you." "You'll see." "You're drinking it all yourself?" "My turn." "Come on!" "Wait!" "I'm really thirsty." "It's dirty." "Now, you carry it." "That will keep us warm enough." "I'm already chilled." "You left the door wide open." "Maybe you want me sleeping close to you tonight?" "I'll close the door properly." "Well, close it, then." "I don't want to be cold tonight." "Are you always cold?" "I've been chilled since I was up there picking." "Let me warm up a little." "That's cold!" "You know the best way to warm up fast here?" "How?" "I'll show you the best way." "Here, give me your hand." "How hard for us" "To find a lover" "But through this dream between our worlds" "Now, we've finally found each other." "I lost my voice." "Now if I sleep, maybe I'll find it in my dream." "Am I in your dream too?" "You?" "Are you in my..." "Listen!" "What is it?" "What is it?" "That little bird..." "Sounds like crying." "It's smaller than a loon." "We used to see them a lot." "Creepy." "You never know what's out there." "Hey, you dirty..." "I'm cold!" "Now I really have chills." "I'm chilled." "I'm going to the tent." "Are your hands cold?" "Yes, I'm cold." "Give me your hands." "That wasn't good enough." "I'll warm you like this:" "Is that better now?" "Kumaglaq!" "Come, little one!" "You're always so clumsy, Atuat." "You can clean up the tent while I take my walk." "We're all so quiet lately." "What's wrong with us?" "Why isn't Puja eating with us?" "Husband, you know I don't usually complain," "but Puja is not helping us." "It's spring, and we do all the work." "She's bossy and lazy whenever you're not around." "I'm very unhappy about it." "Being all stuck in one tent might bother some of us, but if Puja's not sleeping, she's just walking around." "What's she doing out there?" "Fucking with spirits?" "Brother..." "What do you think about all this?" "I don't think anything about it." "They're your wives." "It's none of my business." "Too much talk spoils my appetite." "Not you, older brother!" "Mother!" "I didn't do anything!" "My husband tried to kill me!" "I didn't do anything!" "I never saw him like that before!" "I expected something like this." "He thinks he can do anything." "I should've killed him when I was thinking about it." "If you didn't just think about it, this never would have happened." "Besides, Amaqjuat's the one to watch." "I'm not afraid of Amaqjuat!" "You bark better than you bite." "Don't worry, sister." "They'll never do this to you again." "Father, he wanted to kill me!" "There won't be any killing." "At least not you, anyway." "Don't worry too much, Uluriaq." "Your husband didn't know what he was doing." "Puja's a witch." "I'm not thinking about myself." "It's Atanarjuat." "He loves his brother and he looked so hurt." "Did you see them leaving today?" "I saw them." "They didn't say a word to each other." "Atanarjuat wouldn't look at him." "What are we going to do?" "How will we all live together?" "I can't believe it." "What's she up to now?" "It's me!" "I'm the one!" "It's all my fault!" "I'm so sorry!" "I'll never do anything like that again!" "If you let me come home," "I'll do all the work around here." "Until you can forgive me." "How could you make love to my husband?" "Your brother-in-law!" "You're not even supposed to talk to him!" "That's how you break up the family!" "I thought we loved our in-laws in our heart, not our bed!" "Do anything to me!" "Beat me if you want!" "What happened is past." "Let's try to be a family again." "Thank you!" "I'll be good from now on!" "Atuat, I'll clean that skin now." "I'll go check on Kumaglaq." "What are you doing back here?" "Get the hell out of here!" "That's enough!" "We already made up with her." "Puja is sorry." "She's our family and we forgive her." "Have pity on her." "Husband..." "Dear one..." "If I can forgive Puja, those who love you can forgive you too." "I've been awake for so long," "I feel like I could sleep all the way to next summer." "Listen..." "I'll dry the men's clothes while you two go egg-picking." "It's a beautiful day for a walk." "I'll catch up later." "Good idea." " Shall we go?" " Sure." "See you later." "Remember that time hunting walrus on thin ice?" "Oki's gang was so scared," "I think Pakak pissed his pants!" "We had fun in those days, remember?" "Little brother, my wife is finally pregnant." "I wish for a son, a fast runner like you." "Brother, I've been thinking..." "I was wrong between us." "I hope you can forgive me." "What's going on down there?" "Don't think too much!" "It's almost time." "Wait 'til the women are gone." "Husband, I'm joining the others." " Let's go?" " Wait." "Let's be sure they're really asleep, then go get them." "Shithead!" "Atanarjuat's brother is running after you!" "Where are you?" "!" "He's trapped by the crack!" "He can't get away!" "This way!" "Over here!" "This way!" "Just keep running and you'll find it!" "I won't sleep 'til you're dead!" "Get the dogs!" "Did you find eggs?" "Wonderful!" "Cook them all so no one's hungry." "Who's going to eat all these eggs?" "Father!" "What's wrong with me?" "Be calm, you're just scared." "Who are you?" "Where am I?" "They're trying to kill me!" "Three men!" "They killed my brother!" "Have you seen them?" "We're all alone here." "We see anyone coming right away." "Daughter, go up and look around." "Who are you?" "I'm Atanarjuat." "My brother, Amaqjuat..." "He's the one they murdered." "Husband, my skin is crawling!" "These men who are after you..." "Are they Sauri's people?" "It's Oki, Sauri's son." "Do you know them?" "Are you one of them?" "Dogteam coming on the other side!" "That's good, they lost your trail." "They won't know if you're here or not." "Now what?" "Can you hide me?" "Let's put you in the seaweed!" "At least they won't smell you!" "Strangers!" "Old people." "Who are they?" "Keep quiet!" "I'll do the talking." "Just keep your eyes open." "Let's go." "Did you see anyone around here?" "What's going on?" "We're alone here." "You're the only ones we've seen since we landed here." "Pakak!" "Search the tent!" "Nothing." "Look for blood along the ice!" "There's nothing." "No sign of anyone." "He could never get this far." "Are you lying to me?" "Aren't you Sauri's son?" "How do you know who I am?" "Who are you?" "Where's Atanarjuat?" "Where are you hiding him?" "What's wrong with you?" "!" "We don't even understand what you're doing here!" "Yeah..." "Enough for now." "You're looking for someone, but eat some eggs first." "Then you'll go find him." "I'm starving." "Well, let's eat something." "I'm stuffed!" "You really had me frightened there for a while!" "Have some more eggs!" "I'm too full already!" "So you're Qulitalik." "My father thought you were dead." "A long time ago, we moved down east." "Your father, Sauri, is my nephew." "Your grandmother, Panikpak, is my sister." "We were coming to visit Igloolik." "But now, I think we'll wait, and not go to Igloolik until after we go caribou hunting." "I'm too stuffed to think." "We're going to take off." "Let's go." "I want to find his body." "You can get up now." "Oki pissed right on top of me!" "Where should I put this?" "Put it there for now." "Grandmother, my father wants you to have this meat." "That's wonderful!" "Put it on that rock there." "Atuat..." "Here, take it." "Why?" "Your hands are already bloody." "You're too much!" "Thank you, granddaughter." "That Atuat!" "Why?" "Why what?" "Why can't I have her?" "Her husband is dead." "Why are you keeping her from me?" "We don't steal women in this camp." "How do you know Atanarjuat's no longer alive?" "Without clothes, no one could survive on the ice." "Of course, he's dead." "His soul is alive." "He got away from you, son." "You think so?" "I don't believe it!" "Little mother, don't hold back your tears." "Let the crying come out." "I've lived through hard times in my life." "A day will come when you feel good about yourself again." "How's the ice now?" "It has thickened up." "Solid enough to cross all the way." "I think I could get to Igloolik now." "I'm tired of waiting." "Oki's just a man like me." "I can stand up to him." "It's the spirit behind him I'm not sure about." "Last time it almost got me." "Only you can say if you're ready." "You'll know when." "Why all the noise?" "My breathing-hole's no good." "Well, take mine if you're finished walking all around it." "You spoiled it anyway." "No good to me now." "Get out of my way." "Atuat is mine now." "Help!" "Help!" "Come quick!" "Father!" "Father!" "Don't die!" "What happened?" "He tripped and fell on his knife!" "Oh, no!" "He tripped and stabbed himself!" "What's wrong?" "Somebody's lying on the sled!" "Mother, something's wrong with my father." "Put him down there." "Father fell and stabbed himself." "Sauri was our leader for a long time." "Now his son, Oki, will lead us!" "To take his father's place!" "My heart is breaking!" "You'll be a good leader, just like your father was." "We'll help you." "You, Atuat!" "When we were betrothed, you didn't want me." "Now I want nothing to do with you!" "This is the last of our seal oil." "I'm going to go to Oki." "With Sauri gone, there's no one to feed us, no oil." "I'll be all right here." "Do what's best for my little husband." "I know you'll always take care of me." "Brother!" "We need your help right away!" "You have to come soon, brother!" "We need you to help us!" "Brother!" "Brother!" "We must go home with you." "You tell me when you're ready to go home." "Here." "Your rabbit's foot." "I'm ready now for what I have to do." "Go home to Igloolik!" "That way." "All right!" "My favourite thing to eat!" "Atuat, want to eat rabbit with me?" "That was a strange rabbit!" "I hope he chokes on it." "That rabbit didn't have a chance with me." "It really looks good." "You see how fast I caught it?" "Just with my hands!" "How about a taste?" "Forget it!" "Eat some of that old seal meat if you're hungry!" "Well, it smells pretty bad." "Tastes great." "There goes my appetite." "What a great sleep!" "Now I feel fantastic!" "That was the best rabbit I ever ate!" "A dogteam..." "Little daughter!" "There's a strange dogteam coming!" "Only Atanarjuat runs like that." "How I wanted to see you!" "Finally, we're together again." "I "wolf" you!" "You're my very own wolf." "I love you." "I don't know who you are, but you made me very happy!" "I have something for you." "What are we going to do?" "What are you worried about?" "He's a friend of ours." "We'll welcome him home." "When would I ever let you dress as poorly as this?" "Here, let's put this on." "It's beautiful!" "Now you'll be warmer!" "Atanarjuat!" "Atanarjuat, my dear husband!" "Husband!" "I can't believe you're still alive!" "I'm not surprised you can't believe it." "Look at you!" "Dressed so nicely." "Go back to your friends." "Now you're dressed as you deserve!" "You see what he did to me!" "Are you just going to stand there?" "You wave you breasts everywhere." "Don't complain when we see them!" "It's your own fault anyway!" "Let's go." "Let's get some food ready to welcome our visitors." "Something's wrong here." "Oki ate too much of that rabbit!" "Maybe we should go after Atanarjuat by ourselves!" "Don't worry." "Wait there with Qulitalik and his sister." "We'll see each other again... soon." "What?" "It's some kind of trick." "Why are you so suspicious?" "You saw what he did to Puja." "He hates us!" "Puja got what she deserved." "My husband brought meat for everyone." "But you, Oki..." "He wants you and your friends to come first." "He wants to get rid... of all the heaviness in your hearts." "So there won't be any bad feelings." "Bad feelings?" "I don't have any bad feelings for Atanarjuat!" "Everyone's welcome in our camp." "Of course, we'll go." "Come on." "Let's go eat." "I'm tired of eating leftovers." "Let's have some fresh meat!" "Are you guys coming?" "Maybe there's nothing to worry about." "Yeah, right." "Wonderful!" "Great to see you again!" "I'm happy you came back!" "Yes," "I had a good summer!" "Grab some meat and bring it inside." "Lots of caribou up that way." "We had an awful time this year." "Over there, the land was empty." "We walked and walked... and hardly saw any animals." "And they were really skinny!" "Even the adult bulls had no fat!" "Hey, let's go together next summer!" "We could really help each other!" "That's a great idea!" "This is so delicious!" "Eat as much as you want." "I need to go piss." "Look behind you." "Come on..." "Pakak!" "Stab him!" "The killing stops here!" "Tonight, we'll meet together to drive away from all of us" "the evil in our lives for so long." "Listen!" "We're not finished!" "Before we go on, we must forgive those of our family who've done things no one should ever do." "For many winters now, we've been ruled," "and frightened, as though that evil Tungajuak were still here with us!" "My own son Sauri's children - you, Oki, and you, Puja - have led a life of evil towards others, day after day!" "This has to stop, so our future generations can lead better lives." "Abusing others, committing murders, telling lies..." "This has to stop now!" "I don't want to say this, but I'm speaking from my heart." "My grandchildren, Oki and Puja, and you too, Pittiulaq and Pakak..." "I've known you all since the day you were born." "You'll have to leave us now, and never come back!" "No!" "Grandmother!" "Grandmother, you can't mean that!" "No!" "Grandmother, no!" "I hope you will forgive each other, as I've forgiven you." "Wherever you will live, try to lead a better life there." "Now leave us!" "Now leave us!" "Dear wife!" "Sing my song!" "Where's my little husband?" "Kumaglaq!" "Dearest wife, sing my song!"
