As a complement to our Inuktitut language information, we would like to share our
collection of indexed links about the Inuit and various aspects of their society. The emphasis
of these pages is on the native peoples of the Americas as living societies with a present and
a future as well as a past. Inuk history is interesting and
important, but the Inuit are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional
folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and the issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies
of yesterday. Suggestions for new links are always welcome.
Please note, although the Inuktitut name "Inuit" is the preferred term most of the people use to refer to themselves, many Inuit people still
use the Cree word "Eskimo" as well, including, in some cases, in the official names of their tribal villages. For this reason, we have
used both words on our website.
