Summary:
"Words of the Inuit" is an important compendium of Inuit culture illustrated through Inuit words. It brings the sum of the author’s decades of experience and engagement with Inuit and Inuktitut to bear on what he fashions as an amiable, leisurely stroll through words and meanings. Inuit words are often more complex than English words and frequently contain small units of meaning that add up to convey a larger sensibility. Dorais’ lexical and semantic analyses and reconstructions are not overly technical, yet they reliably evince connections and underlying significations that allow for an in-depth reflection on the richness of Inuit linguistic and cultural heritage and identity. An appendix on the polysynthetic character of Inuit languages includes more detailed grammatical description of interest to more specialist readers. Organized thematically, the book tours the histories and meanings of the words to illuminate numerous aspects of Inuit culture, including environment and the land; animals and subsistence activities; humans and spirits; family, kinship, and naming; the human body; and socializing with other people in the contemporary world. It concludes with a reflection on the usefulness for modern Inuit- especially youth and others looking to strengthen their cultural identity- to know about the underlying meanings embedded in their language and culture. With recent reports alerting us to the declining use of the Inuit language in the North, "Words of the Inuit" is a timely contribution to understanding one of the world’s most resilient Indigenous languages.

Summary:
For decades, the Inuit of northern Québec were among the most neglected people in Canada. It took The Battle of James Bay, 1971-1975, for the governments in Québec City and Ottawa to wake up to the disgrace. In this concise, lively account, Zebedee Nungak relates the inside story of how the young Inuit and Cree ''Davids'' took action when Québec began construction on the giant James Bay hydro project. They fought in court and at the negotiation table for an accord that effectively became Canada’s first land-claims agreement. Nungak’s account is accompanied by his essays on Nunavik history. Together they provide a fascinating insight into a virtually unknown chapter of Canadian history.

Summary:
This book celebrates art and culture within and beyond traditional Inuit and Sámi homelands in the Circumpolar Arctic — from the continuance of longstanding practices such as storytelling and skin sewing to the development of innovative new art forms such as throatboxing (a hybrid of traditional Inuit throat singing and beatboxing). In this illuminating publication, curators, scholars, artists, and activists from Inuit Nunangat, Kalaallit Nunaat, Sápmi, Canada, and Scandinavia address topics as diverse as Sámi rematriation and the revival of the ládjogahpir (a Sámi woman’s headgear), the experience of bringing Inuit stone carving to a workshop for inner-city youth, and the decolonizing potential of Traditional Knowledge and its role in contemporary design and beyond.

Twenty-four years later, Hearne's gruesome account of what has become known as the Bloody Falls massacre, an alleged attack by his guides on a camp of sleeping Inuit, was published. In ''Far Off Metal River'', author Emilie Cameron does not concern herself with whether the murders actually took place (as has been debated since 1795) but instead explores how Hearne's account of the massacre has shaped ongoing colonization and economic exploitation of the North.

C’était la prise de possession, physique et symbolique, de l’ensemble du territoire sur lequel le peuple du Québec était destiné à connaître enfin son plein épanouissement. Et si ce grand projet avait un côté sombre ? Et si, en affirmant notre langue, notre culture et notre emprise sur le territoire, nous avions été sourds et aveugles à l’attachement d’un autre peuple à sa langue, à sa culture et au territoire que ses ancêtres occupaient depuis des millénaires ? Choquant, dérangeant, exprimant des vérités sur lesquelles on préférerait parfois fermer les yeux, ce livre est un document essentiel pour comprendre le point de vue des Inuit dans le bras de fer qui les a opposés à Québec. C’est une occasion unique d’entendre une voix qui a eu bien peu d’échos au Sud et, pour les Québécois, de faire un examen de conscience salutaire quant à la façon dont ils ont, par le passé, transigé avec les Premières Nations.
