The means of improving the economic situation of the Ungava Bay Eskimos.

There are about 750 Eskimos living round the shores of Ungava Bay in northernmost Quebec (Fig. 1), all of whom, except the few permanently employed by whites, are recipients of government relief rations for part or all of the year. Their experience of white culture consists solely of contacts with traders, missionaries and for a few of them, contacts with a war-time American air base, Department of Transport Meteorological Stations, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, nurses of the Indian Health Service, and, in the last few years, summer employment with prospectors and surveyors.
