This well-researched volume expands our understanding of the Nuvorugmiut seasonal exploitation of the caribou and the whale. This Western Arctic society, almost obliterated over the course of the last century, is brought to life in this vivid depiction. The author challenges the popular belief that all Inuit societies were egalitarian, suggesting that powerful whaling captains were the focus around with Nuvorugmiut life revolved.
