520	|a“This paper explores the different traditional decision-making structures and authority relationships in the Nunavut settlement area, and examines how these might influence public administration in Nunavut. It rejects the popular notion that Inuit culture and society are shaped largely by the environment, while seeking to identify the structural basis for regional differences in traditional political economy within Nunavut. Relying on 1) research conducted by the author in Cumberland Sound, south Baffin Island, and 2) ethnographies carried out among the Iglulingmiut of the Baffin region, the Netsilingmiut of the eastern Kitikmeot region, and the Copper Inuit of the western Kitikmeot region, this paper fleshes out the underlying structural foundation of variation in traditional Inuit leadership and decision-making. As these features operate within well-defined systems of social and material reproduction, it is important to understand how Inuit social structure operates before we can design appropriate practices and institutions for Inuit administration, especially in the area of decision-making”--Executive summary, p. 2.
