I will focus on the ethical possibilities of Inuit children’s entangled relations with quimmiit (sled dogs) in the Canadian Arctic. Specifically, I will consider how an ethics of non-human kinship obligation might extend beyond limited western notions of kinship. Putting Inuit cosmologies of human-animal relations in conversation with Haraway’s (2008) inter-species kinship, van Dooren’s (2007) non-human kinship relations and Despret’s (2008) ecology of obligations, I propose that tightly imbricated and filial child-animal relations in Inuit communities open up new ethical possibilities for common world co-habitation in the face of ecologically challenging and entangled fates and uncertain futures.
