                culture: Shamanism and Christianity. Since the arrival of
                missionaries, the majority of Inuits have converted to Christianity.
                I will be focusing on traditional Inuit religion, and how it is
                likely to affect interactions with modern Inuit people.
            </p>
 
            <h3>Worship of Nature</h3>
 
            <p>
                The Inuit religion has a very complex system of nature worship.
                Both men and animals have souls, and all are spiritually connected.

                happens, that the source is likely to be found in people's bad behavior.
                The Inuit do not have sacred buildings, nature is sacred, and the Inuit
                are children of nature. However, to the Inuit, life is not a paradise,
                man's capability to do evil represents a constant threat to harmony.
            </p>
 
            <h3>Life After Death</h3>
 
            <p>
                The Inuit believe that life is eternal. To the Inuit, death is a
                transformation, from one world to another. The transformation did

                happen. In the Inuit religion, there is no "hell," there is only
                a world where seal meat and berries are plentiful.
            </p>
 
            <h3>Souls</h3>
 
            <p>
                In the Inuit religion, it was believed that a human had not one,
                but several souls. When a person became ill, it was a sign that
                one or more of the souls had left the body. To be cured, the souls
                had to be found and brought back to the body. Illness was

                they remain hidden from other people. The amulets were made from
                almost anything, including small pieces of bone, teeth, wooden
                figures, stones, bird wings, and dried intestines. Loosing an amulet
                was very serious, and something to be avoided at all costs.
            </p>

            </p>
 
            <h3>The Shaman</h3>
 
            <p>
                A shaman in the Inuit religion was known as an Angakok. Spirits ruled
                nature, and the Inuit had to behave correctly and interpret the spirits'

                usually sand near water. If a child threw sand in the air, it was very
                likely that another child would get sand in their eyes, their hair,
                and on their body. This story helps to build up the belief that you do
                not harm another and show respect.
            </p>
 
            <h3>Effects of Religion on Modern Inuit Culture</h3>
 
            <p>
                Because of their heritage, modern Inuit are more likely to show a high
                reverance for nature, so, when communicating in their culture, it would

                This is also shown by their very strong ties to religion, such as the
                people becoming ill because one or more of their souls have been lost.
