The Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit Adventure

The Circle of Justice

• Minor problems were dealt with only by the Elders.
• The community would get involved if a problem was believed to be life threatening or if it was considered a crisis.
• Counseling was done in private so that rumours and gossip could be avoided.
• Only the Elder(s) involved and the accused would be present.
