Description

Until recently, so much residents of Puvirnituq, an Inuit settlement in Northern Quebec, made their living off the land. Successful hunting, fishing, trapping and gathering, so essential to folks’s survival, were underpinned by the expectancy that food will have to be shared. As the Inuit moved into settlements—both forced and voluntary—they’ve needed to incorporate the workings of a monetized economy into their very own notions of tips on how to operate as a society. Quoting local residents and drawing upon academic literature, the writer documents the experiences of an Inuit community as they wrestle with tips on how to accommodate their belief in sharing with the demands of market forces.
