Inuit Games and Songs



Instant repetition, without mistakes or hesitation,

of a syllable, a sound, an imitation of an animal,

almost in its mouth - that is the famous vocal game

of the Inuit (Eskimo) women.



It seems impossible for these guttural, staccato and

furious grunts to be produced by human voices.



Recorded in 1974 - 1976

Inuit (plural: the singular, Inuk, means "man" or "person") is a general term for a group of culturally similar indigenous peoples inhabiting the Arctic regions of Canada, Greenland, Russia and the United States. The Inuit language is grouped under Eskimo-Aleut languages.[1]



The Inuit people live throughout most of the Canadian Arctic and subarctic: in the territory of Nunavut ("our land"); the northern third of Quebec, in an area called Nunavik ("place to live"); the coastal region of Labrador, in an area called Nunatsiavut ("Our Beautiful Land"); in various parts of the Northwest Territories, mainly on the coast of the Arctic Ocean and formerly in the Yukon territory. In the US, Alaskan Inupiat live on the North Slope of Alaska and the Seward Peninsula. Greenland's Kalaallit are citizens of Denmark. Siberian Yupik and Sireniki Eskimos
