Bad sources in section: Suicide, murder, and death
Sorry people that I don't want to read all the endless discussions here, but the two introducing sentences in suicide, murder, and death:
"A pervasive European myth about Inuit is that they killed elderly and unproductive people." This is not generally true.
are just judgemental, subjective, imprecisely. What is meant with generally? And who says there is an European myth? There are a lot of US-books and other nations, which published the same thing (not as a myth, of course). Simply allow citiations form other sources in that section. Comparing a human with a library sounds like kindergarten; better those phrases are quoted here.
I would suggest to read this book, at least the chapter "Ethnographic Research on Suicide among the Inuit". It's not written and published in Europe, by the way, but Toronto.
Please do research before writing on a sensitive subject, and if there are two point of views, please quote both. It's not forbidden to write: "this subject remains controversial", at least it's better than declaring it as a European Myth. There are many sources which proof that Inuit murdered and did suicide frequently, including Knud Rasmussen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grochim (talk • contribs) 08:42, 16 December 2008 (UTC) -- Grochim (talk) 08:45, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Inuit Cabinet Members
I changed the First Inuk Cabinet Member section to include two previous Inuit who had lesser profile cabinet posts. --216.108.170.186 (talk) 10:13, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Education
The Inuits learn how people learn today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.37.235.183 (talk) 09:29, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Series Sidebar
Started this "Ethnic Series sidebar template" to bring together some of the main topics related to the aboriginal peoples of Canada so that the articles stand alone and do not overlap each other in content. What is your opinion? SriMesh | talk 04:00, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

UPDATE It has been added to the following articles, PLEASE ADD IT TO new and old articles about the topic.. {{Indigenous Peoples of Canada}}
- My opinion has been posted over at Template talk:Indigenous Peoples of Canada. To sum it up, it's very poorly designed and not aesthetically easy on the eyes. - Io Katai (talk) 19:31, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Inter tribe relations
Inuit did not fight the Tuniit, as most western mindset people might assume. Inuit were the friends of Tuniit. Tuniit died soley from the sicknessess that the european explorers brought. "Qiqiqtaajuk" and "Arvia juaq" parks are the proof of this sickness that came. Inuit too, suffered unsurmountable predicaments that almost led them to become extinct, like the Tuniit. Inuit are non violent people, unless "Push me and I'll push you back" kind of attitude.
There is also a one fairly unknown warfare in the Central region, but is very well known to the local Inuit. The arrow heads that the Indians used were useless to Inuit, so they just put them in a cave in our area. The big hill that the Inuit and Indians fought around became "A place where we laugh" (Iglarvik) because both Indian tribes and Inuit tribes did not expect each other tribes to see, while trying to attack each other, so the Indians realized that they could not beat the Inuit, we became cousins and apologized.
