Sharing memories both painful and joyous, Larry takes the reader on a journey to the Arctic as his family struggles to survive and new communities are formed. By turns heart-wrenching and and humorous. Larry tells of his journey through relocation, illness, residential schooling, and the encroachment of southern culture.

Through an examination of the roles of relief and relocation in response to welfare and other perceived problems and the federal government's overall goal of assimilating the Inuit into the dominant Canadian culture, this book questions the seeming benevolence of the post-Second World War Canadian welfare state. The authors have made extensive use of archival documents, many of which have not been available to researchers before. The early chapters cover the first wave of government expansion in the north, the policy debate that resulted in the decision to relocate Inuit, and the actual movement of people and materials. The second half of the book focuses on conditions following relocation and addresses the second wave of state expansion in the late fifties and the emergence of a new dynamic of intervention.

The High Arctic relocations of the 1950s involved the relocation of Inuit from Inukjuak, in northern Quebec, to Craig Harbour on Ellesmere Island and Resolute Bay on Cornwallis Island. The seven chapters following the introduction examine the cultural context for the relocation, the Inuit view of the relocation, the historical context for the relocation scheme and the scheme itself, the planning and implementation of the scheme, the consequences of the relocation, sovereignty as a reason for the relocation, and the various responses to the relocatees' complaints. The final three chapters set out the Commission's conclusions, evaluate the government's responsibilities, and contain the Commission's recommendations.
