Summary

This text looks at the dual relationship of the Canadian north as both resource frontier and homeland of many Aboriginal groups. Since the last edition of this text, many changes have occurred, raising the possibility that both the frontier and homeland concepts can become a northern reality.These concepts are coherently presented throughout the book and brought to the fore in the concluding chapter.
