[Rebekah Bartlett]

Greetings, on offer today:

Our Footprints Are Everywhere: Inuit Land Use and Occupancy in
Labrador. Ed. Carol Brice-Bennett. Nain: Labrador Inuit
Association, 1977. 4to, 380 pp, 116 maps. Brown cloth with yellow
pictorial inset. A couple light marks on covers, tiniest wear to
tips; owner inscrip. on ffep and very faint foxing to eps. Covers
and interior clean/bright and solid binding. Exceptionally detailed
maps (many full page) and b/w photos throughout.

This book is an important historical document, representing the
first steps toward the creation of the Inuit-owned and governed
lands known as Nunatsiavut (Northern Labrador). It presents the
initial documentation of Inuit land use and occupancy in Labrador,
in support of the Labrador Inuit land claim. This followed the
August 1973 announcement that Canada would negotiate the claims of
aboriginal peoples whose title to land had never been formally
dealt with.

The Labrador Inuit Assoc. was formed in fall 1973 and
in 1975 entered into an agreement with the Department of Indian and
Northern Affairs to provide factual information that would support
a claim. Although a land claim was first submitted in 1977,
negotiations did not truly begin until 1988, with an agreement
signed in 2001. Ratification of the agreement is expected to be
completed in 2005, which will finally give the Labrador Inuit full
control of Nunatsiavut, an area of 28,000 square miles....$160 to
list only.
