Based on Inuit testimonies collected in the 1920s by Knud Rasmussen and almost a century later by the author during several knowledge tansmission workshops held in Nunavut, this article argues that Inuit elders do not fear death. On the contrary, death has a real power of attraction which the youngest must be wary of. I first analyze the components of the person and more particularly the notion of tarniq. I then present the post mortem places of the Inuit and their transformations with the coming of Christianity to, finally, examine near-death experiences. Life after death is apprehended on two levels: while tarniq joins the world of the deceased, atiq, the name, is transmitted and recycled at the birth of a child. The deceased thus continue to live both among the living ones and in other worlds. As for the living, when they can no longer bear this life, time has come, and they can easily opt for a better life in other places.
