"In Uqalurait the history of the Inuit is told in their own words. This thorough and comprehensive work is a formidable achievement that will allow their traditional knowledge to be handed down throughout the generations. The book's simple, logical structure enables non-Inuit to gain a solid and insightful understanding of Inuit life, thought, and society. One of the very fine attributes of this work - and of the Inuit who shared their memories - is that it covers all aspects of Inuit life with complete frankness." Ken S. Coates is Canada Research Chair in Regional Innovation in the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Saskatchewan
