Reviews

This book is very important to the field of Inuit education ... It clearly shows that when schools create different power relationships with Inuit families and communities, positive results can be seen. - Joanne Tompkins, author of Teaching in a Cold and Windy Place: Change in an Inuit School


<p> This book is very important to the field of Inuit education ...

I would recommend this book to a wide general audience because it offers a structured and well-researched account of the relationship between Inuit and the Canadian state. -- Sheena Kennedy Aboriginal Policy Studies, Vol 1, No 1
