Title A name given to the resource Sub-Corpus (Inuit IGLULIK) String Figures General presentation of the string figure In the Iglulik area, this tridimensional figure is said to depict two ribs (tulimaak), most probably of a walrus (according to H. Paniaq). This figure was documented in other Inuit societies, either with the same meaning ("two small ribs", Canadian central and eastern Arctic, and Greenland) or with a different interpretation ("the meeting of two brothers-in-law or two illuuk/illuriik", northern Alaska and Canadian central Arctic/Arviligjuarmiut). Construction method (ISFA) 1. Opening A. 2. 1, passing under 2 loop, picks up 2f and returns (under 2n). Release 2 loop. Proximally transfer 5 loop to 1. 3. Arrange 1 loops so that TV 1f is distal. 5 proximally enters triple 1 loops and hooks down (distal) TV 1f through 1 loops. 4. 2 picks up and removes the two non-TV 1n, leaving only the TV string on 1. 5. L Katilluik (= Bring 1 close to one another. L1 moves over R1n and picks it up proximally. Remove R1. R1 proximally enters both L1 loops,to share these loops with L1. 1 picks up the two 2f and returns through the two proximal 1 loops = Navajo 1. Release 2 loops). 6. There are now two TV 1n strings. One of the TV 1n strings has a loop that hangs from it near the left hand. Distally transfer this TV 1n string to 2, and spread apart 1 and 2 to open the figure (3-D figure). The two transverse strings running in the center (or bottom) of the figure represent the spine, whereas the two vertical loops represent two ribs (of a walrus). See Wirt & al. 2009: 58 for a step by step illustration.

Paniaq stresses that the beginning is here the same as for the string figure of the kayak (QAJARATTIAQ), whereas it continues the same way as for the figure of the two shoulder blades (KIASIATTIAK). These three string figures involve similar technics, ajjigiinguujaqtut. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
