The Manitoba Years and the Project to Study Two Eskimo (Inuit) Societies: Befriended by an Exemplary Scholar

As teaching colleagues with experience among the North Alaskan and Central Canadian Inuit, we established a close cooperation to develop and carry forward the early stages of a joint project to study two Eskimo societies.
