Best Answer

They are chosen for their bravery.

Prior to missionary activity, Inuit religious leaders were shaman who often underwent lengthy and arduous training and only the strongest and bravest lead the tribe. Shamans were intermediaries between the Inuit and the various spiritual forces that influenced the people. Inuit life in Pre-Christian days required strict adherence to various prohibitions and rules of conduct, so the role of the Shaman was usually to determine transgressors and to prescribe appropriate atonement.
