The Inuit have experienced colonization and the resulting disregard
for the societal systems, beliefs and support structures
foundational to Inuit culture for generations. While much research
has articulated the impacts of colonization and recognized that
Indigenous cultures and worldviews are central to the well-being of
Indigenous peoples and communities, little work has been done to
preserve Inuit culture. Unfortunately, most people have a very
limited understanding of Inuit culture, and often apply only a few
trappings of culture -- past practices, artifacts and catchwords
--to projects to justify cultural relevance. Inuit
Qaujimajatuqangit -- meaning all the extensive knowledge and
experience passed from generation to generation -- is a collection
of contributions by well- known and respected Inuit Elders. The
book functions as a way of preserving important knowledge and
tradition, contextualizing that knowledge within Canada's colonial
legacy and providing an Inuit perspective on how we relate to each
other, to other living beings and the environment.
