The Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit Adventure

Shamanism

"Shamanism is a topic that has been suppressed in Inuit society for a long time. The elders strongly felt that it was part of the essence of Inuit tradition.”

"Being an angakkuq [shaman] can be helpful just as prayer can be helpful. Both have their usefulness. Both can work together well because both the angakkuit and the ministers go after good."
