Extract

Within the past half century the Canadian Government and the Hudson's Bay Company have established a number of settlements in the Canadian Arctic with Eskimo families drawn from different areas. These include the settlements on Southampton Island and at Great Whale River, Resolute Bay and Grise Fiord. Although these families have been living close to each other for years they maintain distinct sub-cultural differences in dialect and customs. Some cultural exchange has undoubtedly occurred but very real forces presumably exist within the factions that prevent any general exchange that would obscure their distinct collective identities.
