This extraordinary document of early arctic history provides a plain, direct view of the Inuit and the whalers in their arctic environment at the end of the 19th century. With invaluable contextual and complementary information, this book contributes key insights during the recent wave of scientific assessment of Franz Boas's legacy in all social sciences.Baffin Island (Nunavut) - Description and travelBaffin Island (Nunavut) - Social life and customs - 19th centuryBaffin, IÌ‚le de (Nunavut) -- Descriptions et voyagesBoas, Franz - Travel - Nunavut - Baffin IslandBoas, Franz - Voyages - Nunavut - Baffin, Ile deBoas, Franz, 1858-1942 -- Travel -- Nunavut -- Baffin IslandInuit - Nunavut - Baffin Island - Social life and customs - 19th centuryInuits - Nunavut - Baffin, Ile de - Murs et coutumes - 19e siecleInuitSocial life and customs19th centuryBaffin IslandNunavutWhaling shipsHistory19th centuryBaffin IslandNunavutGender & Ethnic StudiesHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCEthnic & Race StudiesHILCCElectronic books.Baffin Island (Nunavut) - Description and travel.Baffin Island (Nunavut) - Social life and customs - 19th century.Baffin, IÌ‚le de (Nunavut) -- Descriptions et voyages.Boas, Franz - Travel - Nunavut - Baffin Island.Boas, Franz - Voyages - Nunavut - Baffin, Ile de.Boas, Franz, 1858-1942 -- Travel -- Nunavut -- Baffin Island.Inuit - Nunavut - Baffin Island - Social life and customs - 19th century.Inuits - Nunavut - Baffin, Ile de - Murs et coutumes - 19e siecle.InuitSocial life and customsWhaling shipsHistoryGender & Ethnic StudiesSocial SciencesEthnic & Race Studies917.19/52042917.1952042Gieseking Bernd1038431Müller-Wille Ludguer1038432Barr William893119AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910480819103321UNINA
