Abstract

The article presents a comparative study of Inuit circumpolar literature and its translations into major colonial and other languages, marking a significant contribution to the field. It highlights the work of Greenlandic writer Niviaq Korneliussen, analyzing her original text alongside its English translation to uncover colonial and postcolonial stereotypes in the translations. Additionally, the article examines the Naukan (Nuvuqaq) poetry of Zoia Nenliumkina, discussing her efforts to preserve her native language and the impact of her correspondence with the author on the analysis of her poetry's translations into multiple languages. This study sheds light on the complexities of translation within the context of Indigenous literature. [Extracted from the article]
