Synopsis:

There are a total of around 100,000 Inuit (Eskimo) in the circumpolar world including some 25,000 in Canada. In the space of one generation, most Canadian Inuit have come from their traditional semi-nomadic hunting life on the tundra to the complexities of our present-day world. The Canadian government has certainly been confused and neglectful in its relations with the Inuit, but at least it has never been guilty of malice in the way that other North and South American governments have been. Now Canada is at the most favourable point in its history to settle native grievances in a just manner, and to establish the basis for a mutually beneficial relationship which might serve as a lesson for other societies. This edition focuses on the current issues of importance to the Inuit of Canada, with emphasis on its relations with the government of Canada and a new section on the Canadian constitution. The book looks at the history of the colonization of the Arctic, the efforts the Inuit are making to decolonize themselves and the development of the Inuit circumpolar movement.
