Names and Nunavut: Culture and Identity in the Inuit Homeland
Valerie Alia
On the surface, naming is simply a way to classify people and their environments. The premise of this study is that it is much more - a form of social control, a political activity, a key to identity maintenance and transformation. Governments legislate and regulate naming; people fight to take, keep, or change their names.
