This comprehensive study of the Naskapi Indians of Labrador is
based on an anthropologist's life with them between 1966 and 1968,
when families still followed the traditional pattern of hunting on
the barrens during the winter and returning to their costal
settlements in the summer. Now the Naskapi live in coastal
settlements; no longer in possession of their own culture, they
have become sedentaries under white tutelage. This description of
two antithetical worlds provides valuable insights for anyone
interested in contemporary native rights issues.
Georg Henriksen was Professor of Social Anthropology at the
University of Bergen (Norway). He first carried out extensive
fieldwork among the Innu in 1966-68, and for the rest of his life
kept returning to Labrador. It was his deep concern for the future
of the Innu people, and that of other indigenous peoples, that
drove him to participate in the founding of IWGIA (International
Work Group for Indigenous Affairs). He always retained a special
fondness for the Innu people, and a great personal, professional
and political interest in their affairs.
