Kabloona is an Inuktitut term or name given by Inuit to non-Inuit who are long or short term residents in northern communities.The Kabloona include people such as missionaries, teachers, police, government personnel and their spouses or companions.
Kabloona comes from the Inuktitut term qallunaaq, which is used to refer to those who are not of Inuit descent.
Kabloonamuit, or "people of the White man," are those Inuit who consciously imitate Kabloona ways. They follow Kabloona-like customs, they have a dependence on manufactured food and clothing, seek wage employment, and generally value a non-Inuit way of life.
