oki all,

a less unbalenced, if not actually stark raving loony point of view, can
be obtained from the circumpolar conference archives and literature.

e.g.,
inuit circumpolar conference (www.inuit.org),
northern women's web center (www.circumpolar.net),
circumpolar universities association (www.urova.fi/home/cua),
etc.

my personal suggestion is to go to the primary literature and/or governmental
bodies, e.g., nunavut (www.gov.nu.ca), rather than to secondary sources, and
in particular, secondary sources that drool.

i have so much trouble imagining euro-ams going non-linear over the treatement
of indians in the americas, and everything in pierre's opening anti-soviet
salvo applies to canadian and american boarding schools, operated as "gulags"
well into the 1970s and 1980s, with forced collectivization replaced by the
forced individualization of dawes act and equivalent, to the very present.

less sturm und drang bitte, more language, and could the two twits who want
to fulminate about public vs private figure out how to do so off-list, or
put a "mild hypocracy follows" warning in their subject lines. consistency,
neh?
