Abstract
As among the Inuit described in Chap. 3, in another Inuit community thousands of kilometres to the East Nicole Stuckenberger was persistently perceived as qallunaat—a “non-Inuit”—as well. But she was subjected to similar restrictions that were imposed on Inuit women. These applied particularly to hunting, a male domain par excellence that sustains the cosmological existence of spiritual and human beings. But in this chapter Stuckenberger describes also how her status as “stranger” allowed her to ask the elders many questions, which Inuit would not do. Hence her hosts assigned to her the task to document the ancestral knowledge deemed worthy to be preserved and transferred to the younger generations of Inuit.
