Title A name given to the resource Sub-Corpus (Inuit IGLULIK) String Figures General presentation of the string figure This figure represents two caribou fawns (nurraak), one on each side, facing opposite directions. It was recorded (with the same meaning) in various Inuit groups, from the Mackenzie delta (Canadian western Arctic) to the west coast of Greenland.

Insert 2 distally into 5 loop. 2 hooks down 2f and 5n, and pulls these strings toward the body until proximally entering 1 loop. 3. 2 hooks up 1n and returns with it through 5 loop. 4. 1 rotates toward the center and down, and points away from the body under all strings. 1 picks up 5f and returns with it through the 1 loop. 5. 1 hooks down TV 2n through the 1 loop. 6. 1 passes under all strings, and enters distally 5 loop. 1 picks up 5n and draw it back through the original 1 loop. Keep 1 held down and pointing away from the body. 7. A loop surrounds 1 loop. Rotate 1 so that 1 picks up the far string of this loop and draws it back through the 1 loop, which slips off. 8. Release 2 loops. Extend so that strings part in the center. Two caribou calves are formed, one on each side, with their backs turned to one another. For a step by step illustration, see Wirt & al. 2009: 89-90. Construction method (contributor-s’ description) Paniaq stresses that some moves involved in making this figure are similar or close to the ones used for making KATAGJUK, the entrance. But variations occur. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
