Book Review: Uqalurait - Oral history of Nunavut requires some refinement

by lorenz on Jul 2, 2004 in indigenous people / minorities, inuit, books

Nunatsiaq News

At 473 pages, the book is unlikely to appeal to the audience its authors say they’re aiming for: children, young parents, and teachers of Nunavut. It is more likely to attract academics, who should be its secondary audience. No one would refute the idea that Nunavut needs to hang onto the history that its elders can only safeguard temporarily. It’s to be hoped that in this case, the achievement will inspire someone else to produce a book that people want to read late into the night, and maybe pass on to someone else.
