The persistence of traditional ways in a Canadian Arctic Community
is demonstrated by the examination of the Inuit community of Pelly Bay, NWT. The discussion is concerned with the manner in which the modern community continues to function in an Inuit manner
despite the adoption of elements of western society such as modern technology and an economic system based on cash.
Data for the study are, for the most part, the result of fieldwork in Pelly Bay in 1982. Data are presented on various aspects
of the modern community with a particular emphasis on resource
utilization and economic activities. / Arts, Faculty of / Geography, Department of / Graduate
