Lake Harbour, Baffin Island : an introduction to the social and economic problems of a small Eskimo community / by N.H.H. Graburn.: R42-3/1963-2E-PDF

"Lake Harbour is a small Eskimo settlement, located at 62°51'n, 69°53'W. It lies some 75 miles south-west of Frobisher Bay, on the Meta Incognita Peninsula, and a number of the inhabitants of the Lake Harbour area have moved to Frobisher Bay. Mr. Graburn visited the settlement in the summer of 1960, and submitted a report on it in the following year. During the summer of 1962, an officer of the Industrial Division of the Northern Administration Branch of the Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, carried out a survey of the resources of the Lake Harbour region, in order to plan the future of the community. Mr. Graburn's report illustrates many of the problems of small, traditional, resource based settlements in the North that have been influenced by the settlement and development of newer settlements. It is this context, rather than as an exhaustive social and economic survey, that this report should be read. The 1961 Census recorded 34 persons as residents of Lake Harbour proper, with a total population of 117 persons residing in three camps just east of Lake Harbour, and one camp about 100 miles away"--Preface.
