Nunavut Generations: Change & Continuity in Canadian Inuit Communities

"Change in arctic populations has not been a sudden phenomenon, but rather a gradual process that has occurred over a number of generations. In this longitudinal case study, McElroy introduces readers to four Baffin Island communities in the eastern Canadian Arctic and focuses on the challenges and hardships they face in transition from hunting-gathering lifestyles to wage employment and political participation in towns. Through long-term fieldwork, historical material, and life histories collected from elders, Nunavut Generations richly illustrates political and ecological change alongside native stability and self-determination."--BOOK JACKET.Ann McElroy is the author of 'Nunavut Generations: Change & Continuity in Canadian Inuit Communities', published 2007 under ISBN 9781577664895 and ISBN 1577664892.
