Remembering the Years of My Life is the story of a man with compelling dignity and wisdom, and is a testament to Inuit ingenuity, cooperation, and self-governance that existed prior to the union of Newfoundland and Labrador with Canada in 1949. An authoritative introduction traces the genealogies of Paulus Maggo and his late wife, Naeme, to the eighteenth century and places his personal life history in the broader context of Labrador history.
Paulus Maggo is a highly respected Inuit elder residing in Nain on the Northern Labrador Coast.
Carol Brice-Bennett (1949–2018) was an anthropologist who worked for decades with Inuit in northern Labrador. Originally from Montreal, she coordinated land-use research for the Labrador Inuit Association in the 1970s. Her edited volume, Our Footprints Are Everywhere: Land Use and Occupancy in Labrador (Labrador Inuit Association, 1977), formed the basis of the land claim agreement for Nunatsiavut. Among other posts, she served as the Director of the Labrador Institute from 1985 to 1996 and as the Director of Aboriginal Health Programs and Research with the Labrador Grenfell Health Authority before she retired in 2015. She is the author of several books, including Dispossessed: The Eviction of Inuit from Hebron, Labrador (Imaginaire Nord, 2017). She earned an MA from Memorial University.
