Practices
Shanuqis create nisheluks (roughly translates to "leaf things"), which are bundles of leaves tied together, they are thought to keep away evil spirits. The bigger the nisheluk is, the more effective it is thought to be.

Shanuqis pray at nekshaiyeris (translates to "tree temples"), which are small shelters at the base of a tree, or up one. There are torches there, which are lit before praying.

Beliefs
In Shanuqan belief, the world was created 8000 years ago by Aiyellar in a balance of nature and people. People were gave responsibility to keep the balance, and that is what Shanuqis do. Shanuqis think the world will end if the balance is broken. They also believe the spiritual world is connected to the mortal world, and the few selected by Aiyellar may cross over to it. Elestiyanji Shanuqis believe that their leader is the one chosen by Aiyellar, and has access to cross to the spiritual world.
