The Transition to Christianity (English)

The transition to Christianity in Nunavut occurred in the first half on this century. It was a long and complex process that deeply affected Inuit life. It is usually described from the point of view of the missionaries, who took for granted that they were the ones who brought Christianity to the Inuit. But the Inuit were not just passive recipients in the process of Christianization. They played an active role in it and helped to shape Christianity in the north. In this book, two Inuit elders�Rachel Uyarasuk from Igulik and Victor Tungilik from Naujaat�share their memories of the Inuit conversion to Christianity.
