Replay: Do You See Ice?

Dr. Karen Routledge talks about Baffin Island’s Inuit community as it comes into contact with western whalers and explorers in the nineteenth century. Even though the Inuit worked closely with outsiders, their views of the Arctic world, their ideas about the meaning of home, even their views of time itself remained different. Routledge is a historian with Parks Canada. Her new book, Do You See Ice?: Inuit and Americans at Home and Away has recently been published by University of Chicago Press.
