Published purpose
This project will document and preserve Inuit knowledge of preparing igunaq while examining how climate change affects its safety and preparation practices. Through community-led research, interviews, and a review of botulism risks, it will explore ways to adapt and share this knowledge across generations. This research aims to support culturally appropriate public health guidance and strengthen the continuity of country food practices in Inuit communities.
