Preliminary investigation of the Atlantic Walrus, Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus (Linnaeus) / by Alan G. Loughrey.: CW69-13/1-14E-PDF
"The present investigation was initiated by the Northern Administration and Lands Branch as a result of reports from many northern sources that Eskimos were falling to obtain walruses in the traditional hunting-grounds, particularly along the west side of Hudson Bay in the Chesterfield Inlet region. The Canadian Wildlife Service undertook the investigation and the writer was assigned to it. Coral Harbour, Southampton Island was chosen as the centre of activity because large herds were reported in that vicinity and the economy of the natives of the area was known to be largely dependent upon the walrus. Also, Coral Harbour is relatively accessible from Churchill, Manitoba"--Introduction.
