Pittailiniit ( Inuit: ᐱᑦᑕᐃᓕᓃᑦ) refers to ritual prohibitions and taboos within Inuit culture.
The Canadian Translation Bureau uses the term to refer to legal prohibitions in general. [1]
One example included a prohibition on helping others who had broken other pittailiniit in their times of need. [2]
