‘Fresh seal blood looks like beauty and life’
In this paper, I analyse the various functions, meanings and affects associated with seal hunting, eating and sharing seal meat, wearing sealskin clothing and posting #sealfies. Drawing on several decades of research with hunting and gathering families in the eastern Canadian Arctic, and starting with the cultural premise that hunting seals unites the worlds of humans, animals and spirits, I argue that the seal is a prominent metaphor for the Inu…

Digging into My Past
The legal battles ensuing from the discovery of the "Kennewick Man" brought mass media attention to a longstanding divide between the science of archaeology and contemporary indigenous peoples. In this essay, I reflect on this divide as experienced from the perspective of a student of archaeology who later became a cultural anthropologist specializing in the anthropology of Inuit/settler relations in Nunavut. Building on the concept of community-…
Restaurants, fields, markets, and feasts
The articles presented in this special issue explore connections between food and meaning at the intersection of public and private spaces. They highlight the myriad ways in which food and eating practices shape indigenous, national, religious, and immigrant identities. They engage global politics, define and contest the boundaries of community, and discuss new spaces of economic exchange and sociality. The contributors engage emerging constructi…
To sell or not to sell
Problems and opportunities associated with the sale of country food (subsistence-based food obtained through hunting, fishing, and gathering) provide a touchstone for ongoing debates about Inuit and non-Inuit identity in the Canadian Arctic, as well as how to respond to high rates of food insecurity and poverty that continue to affect many families and households in the region. Hunting, fishing, gathering, and sharing food are all considered typi…

Placing Identity
Recent demographic changes have made settlement patterns in the Canadian Arctic increasingly urban. Iqaluit, capital of Canada's newest territory, Nunavut, is home to the largest concentration of Inuit and non-Inuit populations in the Canadian North. Despite these trends, Inuit cultural identity continues to rest heavily on the perception that to learn how to be authentically Inuit (or to be a better person), a person needs to spend time out on t…

Noms, récits et mémoire au Nunavut
Dans ce texte, j'explore les liens entre histoire et mémoire qui caractérisent les pratiques d'attribution des noms et les récits autobiographiques. Ces pratiques et les relations d'homonymie qu'elles engendrent révèlent une forme de mémoire culturelle spécifique aux Inuit. Cette forme transcende le dualisme cartésien qui sépare le corps et l'esprit ainsi que la cosmologie chrétienne qui rejette le transfert des âmes entre les morts et les vivant…

Food and the Making of Modern Inuit Identities
Although the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic have access to an ever-expanding market of different kinds of foods, they continue to invest considerable time and money obtaining Inuit foods, that is, foods hunted, fished, and gathered within the Inuit homeland. In this article, I explore how Inuit use these two types of foods (Inuit food and non-Inuit food) to express cultural differences as well as personal and collective identity. I focus on three r…

Fashioning Selves and Tradition
This past summer's dramatic confrontations between Mi'kmaq fishers of Burnt Church, Nova Scotia, and officers representing the Canadian government splashed the covers of Canadian newspapers and newsmagazines. Those reporting on the clashes did an excellent job in presenting the perspectives and interests of the different actors in the dispute. Despite such coverage, however, there continues to exist considerable confusion and ignorance about the …
