AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This paper deals with the seasonal movements of the Copper Inuit from the beginning of the twentieth century to the 1990s, analyzed from a geographical point of view. Collignon attempts to show how the earlier extensive use of the land by the Copper Inuit prior to the 1900s has been adapted to new conditions in the twentieth century. The focus of this article, therefore, is on the principles that determine people's decisions as to where they want to live in a particular area. Relying heavily on previous anthropological studies as background, especially in regard to the situation prior to the 1970s, Collignon examines the approach indicated by the use of spatial analysis, as a means of providingan understanding of how the relationship an Inuit group establishes with its territory over a long period of time, can help in comprehending past and contemporary cultural changes in the society (p. 72).
