Abstract
This is a history of Innuit-Chipewyan relations. The literature has depicted them as arch enemies, however there is much evidence in the archival material to show that throughout most of the period their relations were peaceful and even amicable, with families sometimes living together and intermarrying. The authors discuss the reasons behind the occasional violent conflicts and why these particular incidents came to represent Innuit-Chipewyan relations as a whole.
