Laugrand and Oosten examine key figures such as the raven, an animal that has a central place in Inuit culture as a creator and a trickster, and qupirruit, a category consisting of insects and other small life forms. After these non-social and inedible animals, the authors discuss the dog, the companion of the hunter, and the fellow hunter, the bear, considered to resemble a human being. A discussion of the renewal of whale hunting accompanies the chapters about animals considered ""pInuitRites and ceremoniesInuitHuntingHuman-animal relationshipsNunavutAnimalsFolkloreInuitRites and ceremonies.InuitHunting.Human-animal relationshipsAnimals398.24/5Laugrand Frédéric1115717Oosten J.
