	Inuit Throat-Singing
		In the vast Inuit Artic land we find two types of singing: regular songs, generally accompanied by hand drums and dancing; and throat-singing, generally done by two women facing each other (and nowadays by a few men, too).
		Inuit throat-singing is done the following way: two women face each other; they may be standing or crouching down; one is leading, while the other responds; the leader produces a short rhythmic motif, that she repeats with a short silent gap in-between, while the other is rhythmically filling in the gaps.
		Throat-singing is a very accurate technique in a sense that when you are singing fast, the person who is following the leader has to go in every little gap the leader leaves for her to fill in.

	Article - Throat-Singing
		Throat singing is a particular type of vocalizing that, in the West, was known almost exclusively by scholars, until quite recently.

		Throat singing is practised mainly in Asia, from India all the way north to Siberia, but also among peoples of South Africa, the Inuit of Northern Canada and Greenland, the Ainu of Northern Japan and peoples of Eastern Siberia.

	Power Pets - Inuit - Adopt Simulated Pets in a Fun and Exciting Virtual World
		Most of the Inuit have lived as hunters of sea mammals such as whales, seals and walrus as their culture has always been part of the sea as a source of food, shelter, weaponry and material for clothing.
		Inuit want the outside world to understand that the country foods they obtain through hunting and fishing are vitally important to their physical, cultural and economic health.
		It is for this reason that the primary goal of ITK (Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami) and the Northern Contaminants Program (NCP) is to work toward the elimination of contaminants from country foods, and to provide information to assist Inuit in making informed decisions about the consumption of their country foods.

	inuit music
		Traditional Inuit music has been based around drums used in dance music as far back as can be known, and a vocal style called katajjaq has become of interest in Canada and abroad.
		In Inuit there is no word for what a European-influenced listener or ethnomusicologist's understanding of music, "and ethnographic investigation seems to suggest that the concept of music as such is also absent from their culture." The closest word, nipi, includes music, the sound of speech, and noise.
		Until the advent of commercial recording technology, Inuit music was usually used in spiritual ceremonies to ask the spirits (see Inuit mythology) for good luck in hunting or gambling, as well as simple lullabies.
