LOOK UP! • AARLURIT ! • ᐋᕐᓗᕆᑦ! FRONTLIST Nunavut Arctic College has been publishing for almost three decades. Our press predates the political creation of Nunavut, but not the historical reality of a distinct Inuit land. We have been around for some time, yet we are new on the landscape of Canadian publishing.

Most people across Canada (and the world) are not familiar with our books. There is a good reason for this. Our books were purposefully published to serve students, Willem Rasing teachers, and community members in the Eastern Arctic. These works were not intended for wide distribution, enviable sales, or awards; they exist as urgent, at times rough-hewn manifestations of intimate and collaborative efforts to archive the ISBN: 978-1-897568-40-8 knowledge and history of unique generations. The narrators in our pages are often $27.95 Inuit who weathered the bewildering movement from the land to static settlements in May 2016 the mid-20th century, and those who entered residential schools. 6” x 9” | 312 pages Notwithstanding our territorial obligation to date, our work has benefitted from the Trade paperback engagement and initiative of outsiders. Alongside Inuit Elders, leaders, educators, English students, and translators, a perusal of our books reveals the thoughtful participation of southern and international writers, editors, and scholars. These encounters blur the binaries of Inuit and Qallunaaq (southerner) ways of knowing, doing, and telling. They Cultural studies; Native studies; History arouse the tension, possibility, and limitation in the fusion of Western written custom and Inuit oral tradition. Our books are experiments in knowledge, language, and culture that we have felt a responsibility to undertake, and continue to undertake. Too Many People Contact, Disorder, Change in an Inuit Society, 1822–2015 So why do we embark on a wider adventure NOW? Too Many People: Contact, Disorder, Change in an Inuit Society, 1822–2015 It is in response to a constellation of needs, events, and questions. We want to examines the history of contact between the outside world and a group of Inuit, the continue to stimulate reflection and discussion as Nunavut enters its late teens and as Iglulingmiut, living in Canada’s Eastern Arctic.

We want to assist in safeguarding Inuit experience from becoming how order was brought about and maintained during this period of nearly two generalized among Canada’s other Aboriginal people, most vitally in the wake of centuries, the ongoing historical narrative that evolves displays a pattern of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
