First Peoples of the Arctic

First peoples are the original people of a region. They have developed their own culture, traditions, laws and ways of life over thousands of years. Three groups of first peoples of the Arctic region are introduced in this intriguing book: Unangan of the Aleutian Islands, Inuit of Canada and Greenland, Sami of Sapmi. First-hand accounts from elders in these cultures are presented and extracts from the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples assist understanding of how they lived and how their lifestyles are changing.
