(I also watched Qallunaat! Why White People Are Funny. That shit had me fucking crying, it was so hilarious. And fucked up.)

I wish I still had access to my UC email 😭. It was a good paper. Anyway, it was so nice to see Taika talk about this film because it truly is a treasure.

Det må jeg spørge mine studerende om på fredag! Jeg selv bruger Kalaallit Nunaat. Og kunne aldrig drømme om, som qallunaat, at bruge Nunarput.

psychiatry has been used to experiment and categorise Indigenous people as well, for the purpose of murdering them and erasing their existence.

here is a mockumentary made by Inuit, from a role-reversal perspective, about what was done to them with psychiatry.

Une centaine de mots inuits désignent la couleur blanche, définissant l'état de la neige évidemment, mais aussi un état d'esprit... Aujourd’hui je propose une journée blanche... #blanc #Qallunaat #white

His writings promote Inuit stories, culture and language. His film "Qallunaat! Why White People are Funny" satirizes what he calls qallunology, the Inuit study of white people.

Qallunaat! Why White People Are Funny
This documentary pokes fun at the ways in which Inuit people have been treated as “exotic” documentary subjects by turning the lens onto the strange behaviours of Qallunaat (the Inuit word for white people). The term refers less to skin colour than to a certain state of mind: Qallunaat greet each other with inane salutations, repress natural bodily functions, complain about being cold, and want to dominate the world. Their odd dating habits, unsuccessful attempts at Arctic exploration, overbearing bureaucrats and police, and obsession with owning property are curious indeed. A collaboration between filmmaker Mark Sandiford and Inuit writer and satirist Zebedee Nungak, Qallunaat! brings the documentary form to an unexpected place in which oppression, history, and comedy collide.

Life Among the Qallunaat by Mini Aodla Freeman was an important book for me to read as a European that otherwise would find difficult to learn from your average Canadian about Inuit people and Inuit culture and Mini Aodla Freeman's personal experiences with the colonizer's cultures. #Inuit

Cover of book called Life Among The Qallunaat by Mini Aodla Freeman. The cover illustration shows three multi-storey buildings with steam coming out of the HVAC stacks and cars in front of the buildings with a mountain behind.

A group of grade 7 and 8 boys were gathered in my classroom today, horsing around. One of them farted and they started accusing each other of being the culprit. When they tried to pin it on me, I hit them with “Qallunaat (white people) don’t fart.”

Well, there was an uproar.
