"The traditional life of Inuit of Canada's North, affected early on by contact with whalers and the development of the fur trade. Changes to the lives of Inuit following the Second World War, including the relocation of Inuit, resulting in separation from family and culture and deaths from starvation, contagious diseases and appalling living conditions as Inuit were forced to adapt from living off the land to permanent settlements. The relocation of Inuit children to settlement-based federal day schools. How Inuit fought back against these injustices to maintain their culture and language and contribute to the richness and diversity of Canadian culture."-- Provided by publisher.
