Popis: Between 1921 and 1924, a Danish-Greenlandic anthropological expeditions completed the first comprehensive recording of Inuit societies in Canada, documenting a vast amount of Inuit knowledge through the linguistic and cultural fluency of its expedition members. The timing of the expedition coincided with the end of an era when many Inuit were still living, or could remember, a pre-Christian worldview and material lifestyle. The Inuit knowledge collected by the expedition is in the form of oral traditions, songs, traditional place names, linguistic information, genealogical information, Inuit drawn maps, photographs, and ethnographic objects. The Kitikmeot Heritage Society has initiated the Fifth Thule Expedition Atlas project to develop an interactive multimedia atlas application that will digitally return this wealth of cultural knowledge to contemporary Canadian Inuit. This article focuses on describing the type and quality of Inuit knowledge collected by the expedition, in addition to the considerations and partnerships behind the Atlas' development.
