The faunal remains used were recovered from house and midden contexts at a late precontact Inuit site (Nachvak Village, IgCx-3) and an early historic Inuit site (Kongu, IgCv-7). The spatial distribution of these remains is examined using seven different classification schemes that seek to reveal differences in disposal and discard practices. These data are integrated with information recorded in regional ethnographies that describe physical interactions between historic Inuit and locally available animals, and also ideological interactions in the form of animal myths. Through the connections among faunal remains, spatial analyses and mythology, a potential precontact Inuit classification scheme is outlined that may better approximate the relationships perceived among animals within the Inuit worldview.
