520 |a A qaggiq, or large communal iglu, is a place of community renewal and celebration. In many Inuit communities, a qaggiq is built in late winter or early spring and is used to share news and knowledge, and to enjoy feasts and friendly skill-building competitions. In The Qaggiq Model, Janet Tamalik McGrath considers how the structure and symbolism of the qaggiq can be used to understand Inuit-centered methodologies toward enhanced well-being in Inuit communities. Drawing on interviews with the late philosopher and Inuit elder Mariano Aupilarjuk, along with her own lifelong experiences, McGrath bridges Inuktut and Western academic ways of knowing. She addresses the question of how Inuktut knowledge renewal can be supported on its own terms. It is through an understanding of Inuktut knowledge renewal, McGrath argues, that the impacts of colonialism and capitalism can be more effectively critiqued in Inuit Nunangat. The Qaggiq Model offers new ways of seeing how Inuit-centered spaces can be created and supported toward communal well-being. This wide-ranging work will be of interest to scholars of epistemology, Indigenous studies and Canadian studies, as well as all readers with an interest in Inuit worldviews.
