Description
This Inuktitut language text outlines traditional Inuit law through transcribed interviews with elders from across Nunavut. The knowledge included in this book will help modern Inuit connect with traditional Inuit conflict resolution and community governance practices. This is a much-needed reference on traditions that are quickly fading, and that may well prove helpful if applied to modern life.
