• Summary:"This book presents interviews with Inuit Elders about how traditional Inuit laws can be integrated with contemporary Canadian law to create a culturally appropriate system of rehabilitation for Inuit offenders. Topics of particular importance include angakkuuniq (shamanism), maligait (guidelines/rules for what must be done), and tirigusungniq (injunctions)."-- Provided by publisher.
  "Eight Elders from different areas of Nunavut gathered on the land outside of Kangiqłiniq (Rankin Inlet) to discuss the Inuit complex of norms, behaviours, beliefs, and values. This book is a product of those closed-door workshops that focused on the relationship between the preservation of knowledge and the maintenance of social order in communities. The Elders stress how social problems concern the whole community, which should have the first responsibility to reintegrate wrongdoers through traditional methods. In this perspective, the court system is perceived by Inuit as an external agent that is complementary and only necessary as a last resort."-- From back cover.
