Talk:Igloolik

message: Should the statement: "The growth of the Iglulingmiut Population" be changed to "The population if Igloolik" as the population includes Qallunaats which may not be properly labeled as Iglulingmiut?  I am not familiar with this term so I did not make the edit and am awaiting someone with a valid source to make a proper decision. BaShildy (talk) 13:22, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends. Iglulingmiut could mean all people who live in Igloolik, in the same way that Nunavummiut means all people who live in Nunavut. However, it's an oddly constructed sentence. For example if refering to Liverpool it's unlikely that you would say "The growth of the Liverpudlian Population". CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 14:18, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Population

message: It seems Iglulik and Igloolik are interchangable, however Igloolik is still used for mail/cargo, and airports.  Iglulik is the proper translation as their is no 'O' vowel in Inuktitut, A double vowel of oo (dot on top) is not only the incorrect vowel ( u ), becomes a dotted u which is not the same word.  The mistranslation is still in proper use and remains the official english town name to my knowledge.  The official inuktitut name of the town in the article ᐃᒡᓗᓕᒃ is correct as evidenced in my photographs of the town.  Spelled out it translates to ᐃ (I ) ᒡ ( g) ᓗ (lu) ᓕ (li) ᒃ (k)  or Iglulik :)  BaShildy (talk) 13:23, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The picture of the clothing on this article shows traditional amautiit, but does not represent the day to day clothing worn in town.  Most people wear jeans, boots, shirts, and coats made in the South.  The main exception are women with infants which are common throughout the arctic.  Should this be labeled differently to not misrepresent the current look of the town? BaShildy (talk) 23:50, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I never really thought about that but you're probably right. It might also be a good idea to mention that the amauti is not usually made of seal or caribou. Also the amauti is common from Gjoa Haven, Nunavut to the east, is seen sometimes in Cambridge Bay but west of here (including Kugluktuk, Nunavut it's pretty much unknown.

replies: text:  I have personally never seen a seal or caribou amauti but have seen dozens of ones made without hide.  The article on amauti claims that they are also used in other arctic regions but they are not as prominent as Igloolik where it was rare not to see an infant without one!  Would the following be an improvement:  "Traditional amautiit made from seal (left) and caribou (right) are occasionally worn by infant mothers, although fabric versions are more common today" BaShildy (talk) 07:24, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
