In this final weblog, I curate examples of Inuit knowledge. I am moving beyond the focus on Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, as each region has different ways to speak of Inuit Knowledge. These site are sources of inspiration, and I have tried to represent examples from the four Inuit regions in Canada:
- Nunatsiavut (Labrador)
- Nunavik (Quebec)
- Nunavut.
- The Inuvialuit Settlement Region of the Northwest Territories
