Abstract
Cambridge Bay News is a popular Facebook group that residents of Iqaluktuuttiaq use to communicate within the town. Many members also use the group to share country food with others. Our paper looks at residents’ practices of sharing food on Cambridge Bay News and the impact these practices have on relationships within the community. Comparing these practices with oral history and anthropological accounts of Inuinnait sharing practices, we examine how food sharing is changing relationships within Iqaluktuuttiaq and between people and the land in response to ongoing colonial practices.
Résumé
Cambridge Bay News est un groupe populaire sur Facebook utilisé par les résidents d’Iqaluktuuttiaq pour communiquer entre eux. De nombreux membres utilisent également le groupe pour partager de la nourriture traditionnelle avec d’autres. Notre article examine les pratiques des résidents en matière de partage de nourriture sur Cambridge Bay News et l’impact de ces pratiques sur les relations au sein de la communauté. En comparant ces pratiques avec l’histoire orale et les comptes rendus anthropologiques des pratiques de partage d’Inuinnait, nous examinons comment le partage des aliments modifie les relations au sein d’Iqaluktuuttiaq ainsi que les relations qu’entretiennent les gens avec le territoire en réponse aux pratiques coloniales en cours.
