A review by paperbackportals
Kinauvit?: What's Your Name? The Eskimo Disc System and a Daughter's Search for her Grandmother by Norma Dunning

informative
This personal exploration from Norma Dunning of the Inuit disc system implemented by the Canadian government is very informative. Dunning’s research and personal experience with the disc system exposes the tragic ways colonialism changed Inuit communities and separated them from their culture and rights. I highly recommend this book to learn more about the Inuit experience of the disc system. It also references so many influential Inuk. Through reading, it has sparked and encouraged further research and understanding of the Inuit experience and reclamation of their traditions in Canada.
