Description: "The Inuit do not represent a very large population, only 160,000 or so, spread over a very large portion of the Arctic region and located in four different countries. Although they are a "people," there are many variations from one group to the next, and any study of them must consider both similarities and differences. The Historical Dictionary of the Inuit introduces us to the Inuit as they actually are and not as they have been traditionally pictured and some would still like to see them--looking after their traditional chores and engaged in time-honored practices--but rather as a modern people trying to shape their worlds in their own interest." -- Publisher's description.
