Lead poisoning and the Franklin expedition

Ian Whitaker's review {Polar Record 27(161): 1991) of Readings in Saami history, culture and language and Nordic perspectives on Arctic cultural and political ecology expresses a point of view which demands comment. Although his treatmentof both books is superficial, his comments on the second publication are particularly lacking in other, more serious, respects. Whitaker writes, 'My own personal view is that this second collection of papers is itself an excellent documentation of the impracticalities which many academics espouse'. This comment is made concerning, in part, a 'Nordic statement of principles and priorities in Arctic and northern research' published in this volume. One of its stated principles is that research proposals and results, 'as far as is feasible', should be translated into the languages of the people affected or dealt with by this research. Apparently, Dr Whitaker finds this concept unacceptable
