Series: Threatened Cultures
Notes
The Inuit of Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Siberia all share a history of abuse at the hands of people who have stripped what they wanted from the Arctic. Fur traders, whalers, missionaries, oil and gas companies all fail to understand that the Arctic is not just a barren wilderness it is the home of the Inuit. This book traces the history of abuse and examines the way people of the Arctic are fighting back.Contents
