In Nunavik we have special ways of sharing. For example, we share beluga after a catch, berries in the autumn and the warmth from the stove in our tupiq (tent).
I remember that we used to give and receive care. Caring for each other.

The Nunavik negotiating team
I remember many times when my mother-in-law would invite so many people over to stay at her place in Kangiqsualujjuaq that extra mattresses needed to be brought in the house to make room for them to sleep on!
This happened during the Holidays or when a special event was taking place in the village. People are always welcomed at her place. She is always willing, it seems, to share her house with people!
