Eber, Dorothy Harley. WHEN THE WHALERS WERE UP NORTH: INUIT MEMORIES FROM THE EASTERN ARCTIC.
McGill-Queen's University Press, Kingston / Montreal, 1989.
187 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0773507027 Map endpapers. B&w and colour illustrations. "During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, whaling vessels from Britain and America plied their trade in great numbers in t he waters off the Eastern Arctic of North America. The heyday of whaling has, until now, been documented soley from the perspective of the whalers, never from the viewpoint of the Inuit, whose lives were touched - and sometimes destroyed - by t h e i r presence. Here, finally, is a rich view from the perspective of the Inuit, who wlecomed the whalers and served on their crews. The author tells a story drawn from oral memories, a story which will soon disappear with the last Inuit gene ra ti on t o have seen the whalers. Illuminated by a remarkable collection of drawings, photographs, and illustrations, many in full colour, tales are told of when the whalers first appeared on the north-east coast of Baffin Island, how they set u p l and st ati on s in the whale-rich waters of Cumberland Sound, and how they eventually pushed on into Hudson Bay. During this time the Inuit not only fed and clothed the whalers, they hunted with them, adding to the whalers' wealth. Our unders tand ing of c hang e i n Inuit life is often linked to the fur traders, who arrived in the North fifty years after the arrival of the whalers. In truth it is the Inuit's close contact with the foreign world of the whalers which maked the beginning of a chan ge in perv ious ly undisturbed Inuit culture and tradition." Minor edge wear. Dust jacket has minor wrinkling at top of spine and flap-folds, minor rubbing. Near Fine/Very Good+
