Umik

Umik (alternately Uming) was an Inuk angakkuq (shaman) who proclaimed himself a Christian evangelist and began to preach to the Igloolik Inuit in the 1920s.[1]

Umik was one of several angakkuq who syncretised Christianity and Inuit traditions. Umik's practices included the use of flags, shaking hands (even those of dogs and children), and Sunday as a day of rest. However, his beliefs also included heterodox practices such as polygamy.[2]
