Definition
A shaman or medicine person among Inuit or Eskimo peoples who uses spiritual practices to heal and communicate with the spirit world.
Etymology
From Inuit 'angakkuq' or similar forms, referring to a spiritual leader or healer. The word entered English through anthropological texts and Arctic exploration accounts.
Kelly Says
Angekkok weren't just spiritual leaders—they were the doctors, therapists, and scientists of their communities, using deep knowledge of plants, psychology, and practical problem-solving disguised as spiritual practice!
