Schamanismus 193 beschäftigt sie mehr als die anderen, die er behauptet zu kontrollieren; für eine bestimmte Menge Handeln ist in schamanistischen Leistungen erforderlich, und natürlich ein Mann kann einen r61 e leichter als andere. Nach dem Glauben der Eingeborenen ein Schamane wird oft seine Form ändern und auf das von den tierischen, durch die er besessen ist, oder werden zumindest einige seiner Eigenschaften übernehmen." Diese metamor-phosis kann sogar in Anwesenheit von Zuschauern nehmen, obwohl es manchmal nur auftreten, wenn der Schamane allein ist. So

. Report of the Canadian Arctic Expedition 1913-18. Scientific expeditions. Shamanism 193 employs it more than the others he claims to control; for a certain amount of acting is necessary in shamanistic performances, and naturally a man may find one r61e easier than another. According to the belief of the natives a shaman will often change his form and take on that of the animal by which he is possessed, or will assume at least some of its characteristics.' This metamor- phosis may even take place in the presence of spectators, though sometimes it can occur only when the shaman is alone. Thus Ilatsiak said that when his grandmother was a child there was a shaman named Makettak who could change into a polar bear. He would bend down to the floor of the dance-house, resting his hands on the ground. Slowly his hands would change into polar bear's feet, then his arms become legs, and finally his whole body and head would assume the shape of the bear. In this state he would go out of the dance- house and visit the neighbouring houses, saying to the children in each as he entered, "Stand up against the wall beside the door and then I shall not eat you.".

Women wading ashore from ice in a fishing-lake just south of Bernard harbour, July 3, 1915 The natives have numberless stories of such transformations and believe implicitly in their truth. Higilak's father could change into a polar bear, but only when he was alone. Uloksak claimed the power of transforming himself into a white or a brown bear, a wolf and a white man. Ilatsiak's wife, who was a shaman like her husband, put her fingers into her mouth on one occasion; gradually her hands became the feet of a wolf, then her head and body began to change and finally only her legs remained human. Even Higilak, according to her daughter Kanneyuk, had the same power; Kanneyuk had seen her change into a polar bear. I was present myself at one of her trans- formations, and in view of th
