An Investigation of Canada's Inuit Resettlement Programs

本文主要研究加拿大政府对因纽特人(爱斯基摩人)社区的重新安置计划：从哈里森港到索鲁特湾和格里斯湾(1953-1955年)，恩纳代湖到北亨尼克湖(1957-58年)，努塔克和希伯伦到拉布拉多南部(1956-59年)，以及基里尼克到魁北克北部(1978年)。实地和档案研究将侧重于政府利用重新安置促进可持续发展、对健康、经济福利、群体间关系和社会变化的影响。目的是了解当时涉及的政治进程以及搬迁对北极土著人口的长期社会和经济影响。

This dissertation focuses on Canadian government programs of resettlement of Inuit (Eskimo) communities: from Port Harrison to Resolute Bay and Grise Fiord (1953-55), Ennadai Lake to North Henik Lake (1957-58), Nutak and Hebron to southern Labrador (1956-59), and Killiniq to northern Quebec (1978). Field and archival research will focus on government use of resettlement for sustainable development, impacts on health, economic welfare, intergroup relations and social change. The goal is to gain an understanding of the political processes involved at the time and the long-term social and economic effects of relocation on native populations in the Arctic.
