		If the Inuktituk vocabulary is lacking in abstract terms, it is also very rich in concrete terms.

	Inuit Throat-Singing
		Some ethnomusicologists have been suggesting that by being able to maintain their language, the inuktituk, this has also helped the Inuit maintaining that particular tradition; although in many regions, throat-singing was forbidden by Christian priests for many decades.
		We don't have a word in Inuktituk for art, but it is an art in a sense because that it is a way of socializing, a way of getting together.
		I worked so hard at learning the Inuktituk language to prove to them that I was as Inuk as them.

		The term "Inuit" is from the Inuktituk language.
		The term qallunaat, Anglicized to kabloona, is also from Inuktituk and refers to all those who are not Inuit.
		It is a useful term for describing most Inuit collectors: "western" is the wrong direction, and "southern" seems to put Winnipeg into Dixie and excludes the Europeans who first made contact with the Inuit in the 16th century.

		Shoo was born in an igloo and lived on the land until recently.
		He must somehow be able to use the bearings and landmarks.
		Even if I spoke Inuktituk, I am not sure he would be able to explain it to me. If I were his son, and we did things like that day after day, I would start to see some of the things that he sees.

		We missed the speech (not that we would be able to understand it in Inuktituk!) but we were there when they started pulling up the maktak (the skin around blubber of a Bowhead whale).

		Dylan told the section that when the trip was at Umiuaq the previous year, they would yell "Wus!" at the dogs.
		In Inuktituk this meant, Dylan told them, "get the hell out of here or you'll get beat." They tried this on Wus, but she just came trotting over.
		She was so cute that everyone in the section wanted to take her home.
