Fortællingen om Oungortok: Kajakmanden fra Akpaitsivik prøver på høvdingen Oungortoks opfordring sin fuglepil mod kablunakken" (1858-1860) is a drawing by Greenlandic artist Aron fra Kangeq, depicting a scene from Inuit folklore. The image, executed in a simple, graphic style, showcases the artist's distinctive approach to storytelling through visual means. The drawing narrates a tale of an Inuit hunter testing his skills against a European, or "kablunak," within the context of Greenlandic mythology. This artwork, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the rich cultural traditions of the Inuit people and their artistic expressions.
