The High Arctic relocation : a report on the 1953-55 relocation. : Z1-1991/1-41-3E-PDF

"The High Arctic relocations of the 1950s involved the relocation of Inuit from Inukjuak, in northern Quebec, to Craig Harbour on Ellesmere Island and Resolute Bay on Cornwallis Island. They were joined by Inuit from Pond Inlet, on Baffin Island, to assist the Quebec Inuit in adjusting to conditions in the High Arctic. The Commission's report assesses the appropriateness of the relocation and the events that occurred after it. The report focuses on the issues that are central to understanding the relocation and its aftermath. A number of very specific grievances were put before the Commission, such as grievances about payment for services rendered by particular individuals at particular points in time. It is not possible in this report to resolve such grievances, although it is hoped that reconciliation on the broader issues will contribute to a resolution of specific individual grievances"--Intro., p. 1, 7.
