Atiqput: Inuit Oral History and Project Naming (McGill-Queen’s Indigenous and Northern Studies Book 103)

Indigenous naming project book

Our names – Atiqput – are very meaningful. They are our identification. They are our Spirits. We are named after what’s in the sky for strength, what’s in the water … the land, body parts. Every name is attached to every part of our body and mind. Yes, every name is alive. Every name has a meaning. Much of our names have been misspelled and many of them have lost their meanings forever.
