Notes

Account of the 1923 Pond Inlet murder trial of Nuqallaq and two other Inuit following the death of fur trader Robert Janes in the Eastern Arctic. Drawing upon archival sources and Inuit oral testimony, the volume examines the collision of Inuit customary law and Canadian criminal justice, while also discussing questions of Arctic sovereignty, RCMP activity, and social conditions on North Baffin Island in the early twentieth century.
