| Sumario: | "In 1924 the Reveillon Frères Company sent one of its supply ships, the Jean Revillon, to its newly-established post in Qamani'tuaq (Baker Lake). The ship was to return South before the winter, but became icebound from October 1924 to June 1925 and suffered considerable damage. The orginal crew, having returned to England earlier in the year, left the ship understaffed for its return South, now for much needed repair. And so, in 1925, Lionel Angotegoar, Athanasie Angutitaq, Louis Tapatai, and Savikataaq boarded the Jean Revillon, in Baker Lake, bound for Shelbourne, N.S. It was the first time Inuit would man a company ship on such a long journey. Having brought the ship to safe harbour, they spent the winter in the South and returned North the next spring. In relating their experience to people on their return they provided first-hand accounts of life in the South. In the 1990s, the story of these Inuit sailors was still a topic of discussion in the North. However, memories about it were fragmented. This monograph, based on ethno-historical research relates the story, the collaborative process and its outcomes, both scientific and pedagogical. Various points-of-view contribute to the broadest possible understanding of the journey, since the Inuit sailors, the Revillon family and the people associated with the shipbuilding industry or the fur trade were involved in the trip per se to various degrees. Archival research and fieldwork provided missing information and a relatively complete account of their roundtrip is now available. This monograph relates the story--the trip from Qamani'tuaq (Baker Lake) in contemporary Nunavut, to southern Canada--and documents the early relationships between Inuit and Nova Scotians."--Www.cci.ualberta.ca/en//̃media/cci/Documents/RoundTripFlyer.pdf. |
