The Inuit Way
has become one of the most popular and important
documents Pauktuutit has produced in our twenty-two year history.
With more than ten thousand copies in print,
The Inuit Way
has
helped a broad range of Canadians gain a better understanding
and appreciation of our culture.
The Inuit Way
is much more than a simple introduction to traditional
Inuit culture. It provides the reader a starting point for understanding
the cultural underpinnings of modern Inuit. As a people, we have
undergone immense changes in a generation. Despite the many
changes our society has encountered, we retain strong ties
to the land and our traditions. People coming to the north today
see Inuit taking part in many aspects of modern life—
working in an office environment, watching hockey on television,
shopping at local stores, making political speeches.
What they may not see at first is that Inuit continue to have
a strong, unique culture that guides us in our everyday life—
our close ties to the land, a dedication to community
and a strong sense of self-reliance.
The Inuit north has changed with astonishing speed since
The Inuit Way
was first published in 1989. At times, the rapidity
of these changes has threatened to overwhelm us.
However, Inuit are known for our tenacity and ability to adapt.
Today our communities are strong and vibrant.
We have settled all our land claims and are increasingly
taking control over our lives.
I am optimistic this revised
The Inuit Way
will contribute
to this positive evolution. I am confident that it will continue
to encourage understanding and lead to a strong and optimistic
future for Inuit and for all who come to Canada’s north.
Martha Greig, President
Kuujjuaq, 2006
