The long exile : a true story of deception and survival among the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic

"In 1922, the Irish-American explorer, Robert Flaherty, made a film about the Canadian Arctic. 'Nanook of the North' starred a mythical Eskimo hunter. Two years after the release of the film, the man who played Nanook starved to death. This is a true story of deception & survival set amidst the Inuit communities of the Canadian Arctic."@en

"In this riveting tale of Canadian bureaucracy and cultural arrogance, British journalist McGrath tells how in 1953 a handful of Inuit families were coerced from Hudson Bay's eastern shore and relocated 1,500 miles north to bitterly rocky and icy Ellesmere Island the world's ninth-largest island. Sold as a humane attempt to provide a livelihood for the Inuit when fox pelt prices plummeted, the scheme was, in fact, callously political. Canada wanted to plant the flag and some people on the uninhabited and largely impenetrable island, over which Greenland, Denmark and the United States had territorial aspirations, particularly as the Cold War intensified."
