Words of the Inuit is an important compendium of Inuit culture illustrated through Inuit words.

It brings the sum of the author's decades of experience and engagement with Inuit and Inuktitut to bear on what he fashions as an amiable, leisurely stroll through words and meanings.

Inuit words are often more complex than English words and frequently contain small units of meaning that add up to convey a larger sensibility.

Dorais' lexical and semantic analyses and reconstructions are not overly tec.
