The Canadian Government brought the Inuit from the land to this small Baffin Island hamlet during the 1960s. The sources of domestic violence are…
Inuit Dreams, Inuit Realities: Shattering the Bonds of Dependency
The Inuit--The People-of Canada have long dreamed of creating their own territory out of the former Northwest Territories. With the birth of Nunavut--Our Land--on 1 April 1999, that dream has come true. Proposed since 1974, Nunavut was approved by Native constituents in 1979.

Keepers of the Culture: Attitudes Toward Women's Liberation and the Women's Movement in Canada

Using data from interviews conducted with women in several distinct cultural communities (Scottish, Mennonite, and Iroquois), I explore ways in which women are selectively incorporating the impact of the women…

The College Classroom as a Small Group: Some Implications for Teaching and Learning

Yet, classroom groups exhibit dynamics common to laboratory or training settings established expressly for the purpose of analyzing group processes (Thompson 1974, p.17). Recent research on student success a…
