The variations of a land use pattern: seasonal movements and cultural change among the Copper Inuit. COLLIGNON, B. Études/Inuit/Studies, 17(1):71–89, 1993.
Paper abstract bibtex The Copper Inuit have demonstrated their ability to adapt to new conditions a number of times during the 20th century. They have developed an elaborate practice of using their territory on the basis of seasonal alternance. Their land use pattern has changed at least four times during this century, but the underlying principle has remained the same up to the late 1970' s. Since then, the Copper Inuit, particularly younger generations, have ceased to build up their identity on the relation to the land, a land they live on less and less year after year. This geographical approach is an attempt to question the nature of modern Inuit society. Is this society only one more stage in the evolution of an old culture, or is it a transitional step towards a new Arctic culture? This concept appears more promising than the concept of acculturation to grasp the nature of contemporary Inuit society and to look for solutions to the many problems this society is today struggling with.
