Description

Drawing on Samuel Hearne’s gruesome account of an alleged massacre at Bloody Falls in 1771, Emilie Cameron unearths how Qablunaat (non-Inuit, non-Indigenous other folks) have used stories in regards to the Arctic for over two centuries as a device to justify ongoing colonization and economic exploitation of the North. Moderately than expecting Inuit to counter these narratives with their very own stories about their place of origin, Cameron argues that it’s the responsibility of Qablunaat to develop new relationships with northerners―ones grounded within the political, cultural, economic, environmental, and social landscapes of the recent Arctic.
