This book offers an account of how the Canadian government removed Inuit from places where they had lived for generations and dropped them off in places they had never seen. Many children were forced into residential schools. Others were required to go south to hospitals for treatment for the infectious disease of tuberculosis. This book casts light on the colonialism and racism that remain embedded in Canadian society and in the actions and policies of the Canadian government. It also documents the often successful resistance of Inuit to assimilation and subjugation of cultural identity.
