This well-researched volume expands our understanding of the Nuvorugmiut seasonal exploitation of the caribou and the whale. This Western Arctic society, almost obliterated over the course of the last century, is brought to life in this vivid depiction. The author challenges the popular belief that all Inuit societies were egalitarian, suggesting that powerful whaling captains were the focus around with Nuvorugmiut life revolved.

Inuit: Glimpses of an Arctic Past

Germain, Georges-Hébert

Canadian Mus of Civilization

Over the past century and a half, Canadian archaeology has rehabilitate large portions of a history once thought to be lost beyond recovery. Coincidentally, archaeologists have been implicated in many of the great Canadian debates--topics such as the place of evolutionary theory in science and educational institutions, or the place of national aspirations in history. The advantages of an archaeological perspective have led to its inclusion in many of societyÕs oldest institutions - learned societies, museums, universities, government agencies, and more recently, in private and indigenous enterprises. At various times, it has also brought archaeologists into storms of controversy. Yet the depth and extent of this involvement are not well known, even to archaeologists. This book is among the first to document and analyze the growth of archaeology in Canada. In a series of pioneering essays, it tackles a range of questions such as: Who first encouraged archaeology as a science? Who participated? How did archaeology become institutionalized? How have Native peoples responded? The book is arranged in four sections, People, Institutions, Regions, and Toward the Present.

Caribou Hunters in the Western Arctic: Zooarchaeology of the Rita-Claire and Bison Skull Sites (Mercury Series)

This book lets the reader relive the heroic days of the Canadian fur trade, a period of a little more than 40 years when a group of Montreal traders pushed the limits of European exploration and commerce west from Lake Winnipeg to the Pacific Ocean and north to the Arctic. The North West Company was established to control competition among a number of independent Montreal fur-trading companies. It brought together mainly Scottish businessmen and partners, French-Canadian voyageurs and their "country wives," Metis bison-hunters, and Aboriginal trappers and their families in a commercial enterprise which forever changed Canada’s position in North America. Canada’s "Wild West" is revealed through period maps, art, documents, and the many beautiful objects which recall this adventurous period in Canada’s history.
