These stories have played a central role in shaping the region, including efforts to open the North to industrial resource extraction. Consequently, Qablunaat (non-Inuit, non-Indigenous people) have a responsibility to question their relationships with the North and northerners, first by placing these stories within their proper historical, geographical, and social context, and then by developing new understandings and new relationships that reflect the actual political, cultural, economic, environmental, and social landscapes of the contemporary Arctic.landscapes of the contemporary Arctic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eHivuniqhuut, Preface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Summer Stories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Ordering Violence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 To Mourn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Copper Stories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Resistance Stories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Toward an Emerging Past\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Ptarmigan Stories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes; Glossary; Bibliography; Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531055329560,"sku":"9780774828840","price":60.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/far-off-metal-river-inuit-lands-settler-stories-and-the-making-of-the-contemporary-arctic-hardback-9780774828840","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
