Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-twentieth century, sustained contact between Inuit and newcomers has led to profound changes in education in the Eastern Arctic, including the experience of colonization and progress toward the re-establishment of traditional education in schools. Heather McGregor assesses developments in the history of education in four periods � the traditional, the colonial (1945-70), the territorial (1971-81), and the local (1982-99). She concludes that education is most successful when Inuit involvement and local control support a system reflecting Inuit culture and visions.

Legends, journals, artwork and photos remain to document these dogs and their characteristics, and they are featured here with the aim of showing the profound impact they had on First Nations' cultures and survival.

In desperate times, they were the food of last resort. Dogs also figured prominently in song, story and ceremony.
