| Summary: | In recent years there has been a great deal written about the vanishing frontier in Labrador-Ungava. One of the last wilderness areas of North America, this peninsula has undergone intense mineral exploration and development since World War II. So spectacular has been the industrial expansion in Labrador-Ungava, that native populations and their food gathering economies have been over-shadowed. Despite the steady northward movement of the frontier in the interior of Labrador-Ungava, other portions of the peninsula have been abandoned and returned to wilderness. In this thesis, I have chosen to examine the northeastern coast of the Labrador-Ungava peninsula. This area has been little affected by the mineral developments in the interior. [.]
