Louis-Jacques Dorais explores this question in \u003cem\u003eQuaqtaq\u003c\/em\u003e, the first ethnography of a contemporary Canadian Inuit community to be published in over twenty-five years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe community of Quaqtaq is a small village on Hudson Strait where hunting and gathering are still the mainstays of life. In this description of Quaqtaq, based on data collected over a thirty-year period, we get a glimpse of its early cultural history, its development into a settled community, and its present realities. Dorais identifies three principal manifestations of local identity - kinship, religion, and language - that persist despite the brutal intrusion of modernity. He concludes by examining the role politics and education have played in the relationship between Quaqtaq and the outside world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eQuaqtaq\u003c\/em\u003e is a unique and important study that will be of interest to scholars, administrators, and citizens of Inuit and other native communities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54228779663704,"sku":"9780802079527","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780802079527__67657cd2a49dd.jpg?v=1741135518","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/quaqtaq","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
