The prevalence of cleft uvula, a palatal cleft microformation, is reported for an Inuit population. The etiology of this congenital anomaly is discussed and cross‐populational frequencies inventoried. Since cleft uvula frequencies are ordinarily high in East Asian and East‐Asian‐derived populations, factors accounting for some relatively low Inuit prevalences are suggested
