Inuit Cultural Studies 200

3 credits

This course is designed to give students the opportunity to examine important aspects of traditional Inuit family values, customs and beliefs. Inuit customs, values and beliefs are what ensure social harmony and they are what people avoid and/or survive hardship and conflict. As modern life has changed much of the nomadic camp-life of Inuit, these customs and values are no longer passed to successive generations as they once were. This course will introduce students to research, archival interviews, and northern publications that will begin an exploration into traditional Inuit values, customs, and beliefs.
