What is the importance of names in Inuit culture?
The importance of Inuit names in Inuit culture cannot be overstated. They are the embodiment of a person’s identity and history, and hold great significance in both social and spiritual life.

Many people also use their surnames as a way to distinguish themselves from others in their community.
