The Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit Adventure
Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit
In Inuit society, knowledge was always related to practice. That also applies to the transmission of knowledge which is always functional.Source: Jarich Oosten, Frédéric Laugrand. “Qaujimajatuqangit and social problems in modern Inuit society: An elders workshop on angakkuuniq”
In this perspective, Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (Inuit long standing knowledge that is still useful) is not only a matter of content, but also of form. It implies an attitude to life, a way of speaking and interacting with other people.
