Description: Documents the impact of the white man upon the native Eskimos. Emphasizes the Eskimo's acceptance and eventual dependence upon the white man's technology, resulting in the transition from a subsistence to a cash economy. Shows how today the educated Eskimos are actively leading their people towards greater autonomy and independence from the white man and his welfare payments.
