The premise of this study is that it is much more - a form of social control, a political activity, a key to identity maintenance and transformation. Governments legislate and regulate naming; people fight to take, keep, or change their names. A name change can indicate subjugation or liberation, depending on the circumstances.

Since the late 1970s, the author has looked at naming and renaming, cross-culturally and internationally, with particular attention Names, InuitNunavutNames, InuitPolitical aspectsNunavutInuitNunavutSocial life and customsInuitNunavutGovernment relationsNames, GeographicalNunavutNames, EthnologicalNunavutNunavutSocial life and customsNames, InuitNames, InuitPolitical aspectsInuitSocial life and customs.InuitGovernment relations.Names, GeographicalNames, Ethnological305.897/1207195305.8971207195Alia Valerie1488065MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791313703321Names and nunavut3708258UNINA
