Ilagiinniq ― Interviews on Inuit Family Values from the Qikiqtani Region

Through interviews with current elders from three regions of Nunavut, Ilagiinniq: Interviews on Inuit Family Values provides a wealth of information on traditional family life. Covering relationships between siblings, elders and grandchildren, uncles and aunts, husbands and wives, and in-laws, this book is an indispensable resource of information on how Inuit families traditionally lived and how traditional ways can be implemented in the modern world.

The Niutaq Cultural Institute preserves Inuit culture and beliefs and has published collections of oral histories in collaboration with the Qikiqtani Inuit Association. They are located in Igloolik, Nunavut and serve the 13 communities of the Baffin Region. The Qikiqtani Inuit Association is aimed at representing the interests of the Inuit of the Baffin Region, High Arctic, and Belcher Islands in a fair and democratic way. They formed as a nonprofit land-claim and community organization in 1996 and registered as a society in 1997.
