"In the thirties, when they asked Ittussaarsuaq - who as a child had
wandered with her tribe and kinfolf across Ellesmere Island to
Grland during the migration when Canadian Inuit has their first
contact in seven hundred years with the Inuit of North Greenland -
when they asked her, an eighty-five year old woman who had experienced
the entire modern colonization process, moving from the Stone Age
to the radio, how life was now, compared to the past, she said without
hesitation, "Better - the Inuit very rarely die of hunger nowadays."
