Summary: "Too Many People: Contact, Disorder, Change in an Inuit Society, 1822-2015, examines the history of contact between the outside world and a group of Inuit, the Iglulingmiut, living in Canada's Eastern Arctic. The nature of these encounters and their impact is described and analyzed from 1822 to 2015. Seeking to understand how order was brought about and maintained during this period of nearly two centuries, the ongoing historical narrative that evolves displays a pattern of interconnected social, economic, political, cognitive, and volitional changes in Iglulingmiut society."-- Provided by publisher.
