Issued also in French under title: Les trappeurs de l'Île Banks : économie et écologie d'une communauté esquimaude : troisième volume - la communauté. Digitized edition from print [produced by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada]. Includes bibliographical references. "The current status and future prospects of the community of Sachs Harbour are analyzed in the context of a metropolis-hinterland model. The social characteristics of the community in the mid-1960s are outlined. The recent extension of government services and administration to Sachs Harbour and the oil exploration controversy of 1970 are discussed and analyzed. It is concluded that fur-trapping communities such as Sachs Harbour are viable from an écologie and economic point of view, but that new social and political developments in the North threaten their future. Recommendations are made, calling for the modernization and re-establishment of the fur industry; for decentralization of decision-making to the community level in order to permit local autonomy and control, and for a moratorium on non-renewable resource development in native trapping and hunting areas pending adequate research and consultation"--Abstract, p. iii. gccst Inuit gccst Trapping gccst Economic conditions Northern Science Research Group (Canada) Canada.
