Inuit Indians presents a well organized overview spanning from the origins of the Inuit to contemporary society. The layout of the book is easy to follow and covers key components of Inuit society. The topics are presented concisely and in accessible language. The pictures clarify and extend meaning.
I enjoyed the diversity of images and maps in this book. As well, from a social studies perspective, I felt this gave an introduction to key elements of society which is examined in more detail in higher grades and with different topic areas. This presents an overall view of the Inuit culture.
The author of this book used a consultant of the Inuit heritage and teacher of Inuit language. Other reliable resources were utilized in the creation of this book.
