What does ‘Chimo’ mean?

Chimo is a friendly way of greeting someone in Inuktitut. The word ‘Chimo’ is believed to mean a special friend for people in need of someone to talk to. It is said that when the Inuit people would greet each other with the word ‘Chimo’ they would simultaneously circle their hearts with their left hands.
