Akuliakattagmiut

Akuliakattagmiut were a geographically defined Copper Inuit subgroup in the Canadian territory of Nunavut.[1] They were located near Cape Bexley on the south shore, mainland side of Dolphin and Union Strait,[2] and in the vicinity of the Melville Hills' Akuliakattak Lake, the source of the Rae River.[3]

Culture

Akuliakattagmiut wore more seal than other Copper Inuit. They did not wear belts at the hips, rather their pants come to the waist.

According to Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Akuliakattagmiut showed fear of guns, while other Inuit did not. All of their tools were sharp: iron snow knives, ulus; steel whittling knives, crooked knives, needles; copper ice picks; and metal scrappers.

Some Akuliakattagmiut songs were of Uallirnergmiut origin.[4] Their trade partners included the Haneragmiut and the Puiplirmiut.[5]

gollark: I've read a bit about it, and it's probably 80% insanity given the amount of stuff they do to maintain backward compatibility.
gollark: Yes, they could probably just put basically anything in there and it would be hard to do anything about it.
gollark: No, I mean it would be hard to do in the various open source OSes.
gollark: > Maybe you've never thought about this, but if there are 100 devs working for free you'd only need to hire 50 devs to compromise all their code.That's, um, still quite a lot given the large amounts of developers involved, and code review exists, and this kind of conspiracy could *never* stay secret for very long, and if you have an obvious backdoor obvious people are fairly likely to look at it and notice.
gollark: Those are increasingly not working because of better security in stuff, which is probably good.
