There were two Inuit men with the same name at the time of the murder: one a hunter and the other an angakkuq or shaman. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] This Wikipedia article conflates the two men.
This article is about Uluksuk the hunter who assisted in the murder of two priests. The shaman, Uluksak, helped the Royal Northwest Mounted Police locate the murderer, Uluksuk. [6]
(Note: There are several different spellings of the name. Uloqsaq was used for the shaman by anthropologist Diamond Jenness in his 1913-1916 diary (published as Arctic Odyssey in 1991).
In his 1916 Annual Police Report, Inspector La Nauze records the murderer’s confession statement under the name: “Uluksuk, alias Avingak.” [7] Inspector La Nauze recorded the shaman’s statement under the name: “Uluksak, alias Mayuk.” [8]
The identity confusion originated from an error in reporting the murder of the shaman nine years later. This error was pointed out on page 70 of the 1926 Annual RCMP report. [9]
The first sentence in the (Early Life section) is correct. The rest of the Early Life paragraph refers to the other Inuit, the shaman, and I would like that information deleted. Mgmontgo ( talk) 21:49, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
