The word amulet means "an object that protects a person from trouble."

Amulet

An amulet is a decorative figure of a spirit animal, spirit helper, or spiritual symbol that is used like a charm to call upon the help of good spirits and ward off bad ones. Also called a talisman or a good-luck charm, an amulet is usually worn on the body (as in a necklace, for example), carried, or hung up in a place that is important to a person.
The Inuit have two main kinds of amulets: those that are worn from they day they are born, and those that are worn when hunting.

Amulets have been used throughout time by people all over the world. Some examples that may be familiar to you include a rabbit's foot, a horse shoe, and religious medals and religious candles.

Examples of Inuit amulets are fur or claws to encourage strength or hunting skill, small carved animals to help with a successful hunt, a piece of dried salmon skin to make a girl a good seamstress, and an owl's claw to give a boy strong fists.
