Abstract

Travel forms a significant part of the lives of many East Greenlandic Iivit involving pleasure aspects and work necessities. The journeys include manifold encounters among humans, animals and environmental features, and according to some Iivit, also with specific non-human beings inhabiting the wider area. During certain moments, when the routes of human and non-human beings and features intersect, meaningful places are created that are remembered and passed on by means of stories. This article shows the close intertwining between moving for pleasure and moving for work and the importance of places in Iivit lifeworlds pointing to the continuous influence of people's semi-nomadic past.
