Thule Culture in Western Coronation Gulf, N.W.T.
Author: David A. Morrison
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 1772821101
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Archaeological excavations between 1979 and 1981 at three house sites on the western coast of Coronation Gulf attempt to investigate Thule culture in this strategic but marginal region. These sites, along with others already excavated, appear to represent a fairly distinctive stylistic variant of Thule culture in the western central Arctic. This variant is primarily affiliated with western rather than eastern Thule, and appears to be of direct Alaskan origin.

Words of the Inuit
Author: Louis-Jacques Dorais
Publisher: Univ. of Manitoba Press
ISBN: 0887558631
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
"Words of the Inuit" is an important compendium of Inuit culture illustrated through Inuit words. It brings the sum of the author’s decades of experience and engagement with Inuit and Inuktitut to bear on what he fashions as an amiable, leisurely stroll through words and meanings. Inuit words are often more complex than English words and frequently contain small units of meaning that add up to convey a larger sensibility. Dorais’ lexical and semantic analyses and reconstructions are not overly technical, yet they reliably evince connections and underlying significations that allow for an in-depth reflection on the richness of Inuit linguistic and cultural heritage and identity. An appendix on the polysynthetic character of Inuit languages includes more detailed grammatical description of interest to more specialist readers. Organized thematically, the book tours the histories and meanings of the words to illuminate numerous aspects of Inuit culture, including environment and the land; animals and subsistence activities; humans and spirits; family, kinship, and naming; the human body; and socializing with other people in the contemporary world. It concludes with a reflection on the usefulness for modern Inuit—especially youth and others looking to strengthen their cultural identity —to know about the underlying meanings embedded in their language and culture. With recent reports alerting us to the declining use of the Inuit language in the North, "Words of the Inuit" is a timely contribution to understanding one of the world’s most resilient Indigenous languages.
