Show detail Hide detail

This radio documentary explores the contempory problems of the Inuit of Northern Canada and the negative effect of modern industrial society upon their traditional communal culture. Broadcaster Bill McNeil outlines the impact upon the Inuit culture of the first explorers to the North who introduced sickness to the Inuit, the traders who came later and introduced guns and alcohol to the Inuit, the mining companies that spoiled their hunting, the civil servants who introduced welfare programs, and finally, "the South was brought up North", but the Inuit remains on the fringe of society. McNeil talks to several people, both Inuit and non-Inuit, who are attempting to help the Inuit overcome some of the destructive forces affecting their culture such as alcoholism and chronic unemployment. Some of those interviewed are: Bob Williamson who learned the Inuit language and now teaches the Inuit children their own language; author Jim Houston whose works portray the Inuit as gentle and remarkable people; Peter Oosiekarpik, the town councillor for Pangnirtung on Baffin Island; Andrew Tagak, airport manager at Frobisher Bay; Ann Pelham who helps the Inuit manage a co-operative to market Inuit art; and Father Vanderveld, a priest and missionary to the Inuit since 1937.
