" Uqalurait is the most comprehensive compilation of Inuit traditional knowledge to date." TOPIA - Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies "Recuperates and preserves the dwindling knowledge of how the Inuit lived prior to moving into permanent settlements . profound and remarkably humorous." The Walrus "In Uqalurait the history of the Inuit is told in their own words. This thorough and comprehensive work is a formidable achievement that will allow their traditional knowledge to be handed down throughout the generations. The book's simple, logical structure enables non-Inuit to gain a solid and insightful understanding of Inuit life, thought, and society. One of the very fine attributes of this work - and of the Inuit who shared their memories - is that it covers all aspects of Inuit life with complete frankness." Ken S.
