The Eternal Maiden
E-text prepared by Al Haines
"The Eternal Maiden" by T. Everett Harré is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in an arctic setting among an Eskimo tribe, centering on themes of love, rivalry, and survival as it follows the lives of two main characters, Ootah and Annadoah, against the backdrop of the harsh northern landscape. As they navigate their feelings for each other and face competition from others, their lives become entwined with the legends and supernatural elements of their culture. The opening of the novel introduces a richly imagined narrative that melds biblical-like creation themes with the stark realities of life in an unforgiving climate. Initially, the text recounts an ancient Eskimo legend about a maiden and a youth who become the sun and the moon, symbolizing eternal love and unattainable desire. Shifting to the present, a group of hunters prepares for a crucial walrus hunt, with excitement and tension palpable among the tribe. Ootah, a skilled hunter hoping to win Annadoah's favor, embarks on the hunt alongside his rivals, who are also drawn to her beauty and prowess. Annadoah, the coveted maiden, is portrayed as both innocent and complex, revealing herself to be a central figure in the unfolding drama between love and envy that drives much of the narrative's conflict.
