Description
File contains a presentation by Lazarusie Epoo. Epoo relates some personal experiences related to the history of the community, and the abuse the Inuit people suffered from the police and Euro-Canadian companies operating in the area. Epoo states that when the Inuit people got involved in elections they "stopped being so scared of the white people," and that "If the white people had chosen to work closely with us instead of being so dominant, we wouldn't have been so far apart in the beginning."
