Abstract:

Since the early 1970s, the Inuit of Arctic Quebec have struggled to
survive economically and culturally in a rapidly changing northern
environment. The promotion and maintenance of Inuktitut, their native
language, through language policy and Inuit control over institutions,
have played a major role in this struggle. Language, Politics, and
Social Interaction in an Inuit Community is a study of indigenous
language maintenance in an Arctic Quebec community where four
languages - Inuktitut, Cree, French and English - are spoken. It
examines the role that dominant and minority languages play in the
social life of this community, linking historical analysis with an
ethnographic study of face-to-face interaction and attitudes towards
learning and speaking second and third languages in everyday life.
