Our ice is vanishing = Sikuvut nunguliqtuq : a history of Inuit, newcomers, and climate change

Wright, Shelley (author.).

Summary: Combining scientific and legal information with political and individual perspectives, Shelley Wright follows the history of the Canadian presence in the Arctic and shares her own journey in recollections and photographs, presenting the far North as few people have seen it. Climate change is redrawing the boundaries of what Inuit and non-Inuit have learned to expect from our world. "Our Ice Is Vanishing" demonstrates that we must engage with the knowledge of the Inuit in order to understand and negotiate issues of climate change and sovereignty claims in the region.
