Our Journey
Our journey in crafting this atlas is like weaving the threads of caribou sinew (uliut), a gift from the land. Here, the threads of knowledge—Inuit and academic—come together to make a strong yet supple cord. Weaving is like telling a story. It leads to creating a quilt of ideas: an atlas to hopefully better PLAN, DWELL, and BUILD the Inuit way.
