Pipaluk Freuchen (15 March 1918 – 8 April 1999) was a Danish-Greenlandic-Swedish writer, best known for her children's book Ivik, den faderløse, which is also known by its English title Eskimo Boy. She was also the daughter of the explorer Peter Freuchen.

Pipaluk Jette Tukuminguaq Kasaluk Palika Freuchen was born on 15 March 1918 in Uummannaq, Greenland.

1944

In 1944 Freuchen fled from Nazi occupied Denmark to Sweden with her father and married Bengt Häger, a Swedish choreographer and academic.

They had a daughter named Navarana.

The Swedish edition was illustrated by Freuchen's step-cousin Ingrid Vang Nyman, who was living in Sweden and had illustrated Freuchen's story Julafton bland eskimåer (Christmas Eve among Eskimos) for Dagens Nyheter in 1944.

Inaluk, her second book, about a Greenlandic girl going to school in Denmark, was published in a Swedish translation.

The Swedish library magazine Biblioteksbladet was disappointed and described it as "a completely ordinary girl's book" and the central character as "grossly idealised".

Freuchen also worked as a journalist and travelled with her father.

In the book, Ivik's father is killed by a walrus on a hunting trip and Ivik has to save his family from starvation.

Ivik ultimately ends up killing a polar bear.

The book was noted in an Association on American Indian Affairs bibliography for its "unrelenting realism".

Reviewing the book, the Lexington Herald described it as "permeated with the spirit of Eskimo culture", while the Manchester Guardian described the book as "a little masterpiece of writing".
