The Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit Adventure

Traditional Justice

Inuit leaders (anguajuqqaat) and Elders did not see themselves as agents of law and order or social control.

Leaders:

  • Each camp usually had only one leader.
  • Each leader would choose someone from the younger generation to take over this role upon his death

Elders:

  • Any Elder could be a counselor
  • Both men and women were seen to hold wisdom
