In 1959, a small group of Inuit in northern Quebec met with Canadian government officials to form the George River Eskimo Cooperative, a desperate but proud gamble to forge a new economic base in the Arctic wilderness. Twenty years later, there are fifty-two active Inuit cooperatives with annual sales of more than $20 million. This beautifully written book is an account of the beginnings of the cooperative movement in Canada's north; of the determination, idealism and courage of the men who began it; of the trust and dignity of the people who brought energy and skill to making it work. First published in 1966 under the title The New People and now reissued with a new introduction and epilogue by the author, it stands as a dramatic reminder of the importance of what happened in Canada's Arctic in the early 1960's
