This book, the sixth in a series anthologizing writings by Inuit in Nunavik over the last thirty-five years, presents articles on environmental contaminants, land use, and climate change. Written by members of the Inuit community and non-Inuit who have worked closely with the community to better understand environmental concerns, the articles in this volume shed light on how interaction with the natural environment has changed dramatically in the past three decades.
