Introduction
Historically, Inuit have had no written culture. Knowledge, including that of relationships between individuals and families, is typically passed on orally from Elders to others in the community. Inuit view themselves as linked to all Inuit other Inuit, including those in other communities, other parts of Nunavut, other parts of Canada (i.e., Nunavik — northern Quebec; Nunatsiavut — Labrador; Inuvialuit — western Northwest Territories), and other parts of the world (i.e., Alaska, Greenland, Siberia). It is not uncommon for two individuals living in communities at opposite ends of Nunavut to find common ancestors, however distant, within just a few minutes of talking to one another.

Inuit Language
Missionaries brought the first writing system to the Inuit in the late 1800s as a means of communicating with Inuit and spreading religion. The system, known as syllabics, was adapted from that used by missionaries who had adopted it for use by the Cree of northern Quebec. Tempus urna et pharetra pharetra massa.
