Drawing on a broad range of oral history sources, "Uqalurait" provides a comprehensive account of Inuit life in the era before extensive contact with southerners. Using quotes from over three hundred Inuit elders, "Uqalurait" presents an inside view of Inuit culture, traditional knowledge, family life, social relations, hunting, the land, shamanism, health, and material culture in the voices of the region's Native Peoples.
Given the recent creation of Nunavut and the current attention on the Arctic due to climate change, "Uqalurait" is a timely source of insight from a people whose values of sharing and respect for the environment have helped them to live contentedly for centuries at the northern limit of the habitable world.
