This is an interesting anthropological study contrasting the Kabloona (Whiteman) social systems with the aboriginal Inuit societies. "With the exception of the clergymen,m the Kabloona community is made up of 'birds of passage' here from one to three or four years.....'. "The Kabloona at Baker Lake form a community rather like one formed by passengers on a long cruise; they are in intimate contact with one another for a period, but are always aware that this contact is likely to be broken once the fellow=passengers leave the ship."
