A note on Silna’s ethnicity!

By Word of Kajganich, she is confirmed to be interpretable as an Ugřulik Inuk! Not necessarily a Natchiliŋmiutaq or Qikiqtarmiutaq.

Silna is an Ugřuliŋmiutaq!

"Netsilik [people]" is derived from the ethnonym Natchiliŋmiut, or Inhabitants of the One With Ringed Seal. The "One With Seal" i.e. Natchilik is a placename, referring to Netsilik Lake and its environs on Boothia Peninsula. The several distinct Inuit groups in the area would use the +miut postbase designating "inhabitants of" a place. "Netsilik Inuit" when extended beyond application to those of or from Natchilik is not actually accurate to Silna’s group identity within the time period, as this was an ethnonym applied to Inuit other than Natchiliŋmiut by outsiders.

"Inuit," capitalized, is the general ethnonym. It means "The People." The Inuit characters in the show are specifically Ugřuliŋmiut and/or Qikiqtarmiut, depending on one’s headcanon.

Natsilingmiutut is now the umbrella term for the three main varieties of Inuktut extant in the area. According to Jean L. Briggs and Carrie J. Dyck, these are: Nattilik; Arviligjuaq; and Utkuhiksalik.

The Natchiliŋmiut and Kuuŋmiut traditionally inhabited Boothia to the east of King William Island i.e. Qikiqtaq. The Iluilirmiut lived on Adelaide Peninsula south of Qikiqtaq. Down toward the Chantrey Inlet area are the Utkuhikšaliŋmiut. The dwellers of Qikiqtaq were Qikiqtarmiut, largely descended from Natchiliŋmiut emigrants; and Ugřuliŋmiut, an ethnic group said to be driven from Qikiqtaq by famine and friction with aforementioned Natchiliŋmiut (thus why they are not on Knud Rasmussen’s 1923 map pictured below). Surviving Ugřuliŋmiut fled south, with many joining the Utkuhikšaliŋmiut.

Silna may have been among the last generation of Ugřuliŋmiut to remain beside the Ugřulik Sea.
