y avait quelque chose quand il vît que l’autre
qajaq commençait à couler. Il sortit son
harpon, visa et harponna dans le vide car,
en ce moment, le garçon, qui s’était caché
sous le qajaq, le renversa.
Les deux hommes qui avaient attendu que
le sang du garçon devienne plus fort sont
morts noyés. Après leur décès, Augitsisiaq,
celui pour qui la mort a été reportée en
attendant que son sang devienne plus fort,
retourna à sa mère avec un des qajaak. Une
fois plus vieux, lui et sa mère retournèrent
au continent et ne retournèrent guère à l’île.
Augitsisiaq veut dire « en attendant que
son sang devienne mature » et était basé sur
la croyance que le sang change avec l’âge.

There was a woman who was not yet
married but had had a child. And because
she was unwed, and yet bore a child, her
fellow Inuit regarded her as forsaken and
to be dealt with harshly. It was inacceptable
to have a child outside of marriage. So
the Inuit brought her to an uninhabited
island and left her thus, abandoning her
completely so that she lived on this island
with only her baby son as her companion.
Two qajaak1 would come and visit them
once in a while. They certainly did not have
any kind intentions for
they came to the
island with the
purpose of killing
them.
However,
they would change
their mind because
the woman would
simply show them that that
