For Inuit, it is a highway, a hunting ground, and the platform on which life is lived. While the international community argues about sovereignty, security, and resource development at the top of the world, the Inuit remind us that they are the original inhabitants of this magnificent place - and that it is undergoing a dangerous transformation. The Arctic ice is melting at an alarming rate and Inuit have become the direct witnesses and messengers of climate change. Through an examination of Inuit history and culture, alongside the experiences of newcomers to the Arctic seeking land, wealth, adventure, and power, Our Ice Is Vanishing describes the legacies of exploration, intervention, and resilience. Combining scientific and legal information with political and individual perspectives, Shelley Wright follows the history of the Canadian presence in the Arctic and shares her own journey in recollections and photographs, presenting the far North as few people have seen it. Climate change is redrawing the boundaries of what Inuit and non-Inuit have learned to expect from our world. Our Ice Is Vanishing demonstrates that we must engage with the knowledge of the Inuit in order to understand and negotiate issues of climate change and sovereignty claims in the region. 410 0$aMcGill-Queen's native and northern series ;$v75. 606 $aInuit$zCanada$xHistory 606 $aSea ice 606 $aClimatic changes$xSocial aspects$zCanada, Northern 607 $aCanada, Northern$xClimate$xHistory 607 $aCanada, Northern$xHistory 607 $aCanada, Northern$xSocial conditions 607 $aCanada, Northern$xEnvironmental conditions$xHistory 615 0$aInuit$xHistory. 615 0$aSea ice. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xSocial aspects 676 $a971.90049712 700 $aWright$b Shelley$01676813 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827208103321 996 $aOur ice is vanishing = Sikuvut nunguliqtuq$94043267 997 $aUNINA
