In Order to Live Untroubled: Inuit of the Central Artic 1550 to 1940 (SIGNED) - Fossett, Renee

SIGNED BY RENEE FOSSETT on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; appears unread; This book provides the first, broad, historical survey of the Inuit peoples of the central Arctic. Drawing on a wide array of eyewitness accounts, journals, oral sources, and findings from material culture and other disciplines, historian Renee Fossett explains how different Inuit societies developed strategies and adaptations for survival to deal with the challenges of their physical and social environments over the centuries. This book examines how and why Inuit created their cultural institutions before they came under the pervasive influence of Euro-Canadian society. This fascinating account of Inuit encounters with explorers, furtraders, and other aboriginal peoples is a rich and detailed glimpse into a long hidden historical world.
