In 1717 A.D., the Caribou Inuit of the Kivalliq, Nunavut were
introduced to the Fur Trade through the Hudson Bay Company. It has
been previously posited that between that time and 1900 A.D., the
Caribou Inuit were drawn out of a traditional subsistence pattern
and into an economy that was a part of a world system. However, the
actual process of how trade goods and technologies were
incorporated into Caribou Inuit society by the Caribou Inuit
themselves has received little attention. Using a combination of
archaeology, archival history, and oral history to examine the
profiles of specific individuals, this report demonstrates the
importance of Caribou Inuit families that acted as intermediaries
between their culture and European trade in the process of Caribou
Inuit economic transition during the early historic period.
