AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book is of interest chiefly because Hearne was the first European to come in contact with the Copper Inuit. The encounter was brief but bloody as the Indians who accompanied Hearne suprised and ruthlessly massacred a party of Inuits.
