- Notes
- "Among the Inuit, naming is an important part of the culture, It binds members of the extended family together. .... Naming also has the potency to create strong bonds among the families of a community". Author tells us how in the Inuit community the naming of a child for a recently deceased person binds the child securely to the community. "[A] kinship is created, a kinship often as strong as blood, but uniquely different because it is based on choice."
