In response to this pressure the indigenous peoples are begin-ning to consider themselves as being in a new “Northerner ” category. Many of the urban adjustment problems of these Northerners can be traced to the values and to the behavioural patterns of their former trapping style of life. The situation is further complicated by the social stratification to which the settlement patterns contribute. Such groupings are crucial to the political future of the Northwest Territories. RÉSUMÉ. Styles de vie en conflit dans une ville du nord du Canada. Avec la rapide expansion des services gouvernementaux dans l’Arctique canadien, les fonction-naires blancs en sont venus à dominer la vie politique et sociale des villes nouvelles du nord. En réaction à cette pression, les indigènes commencent à se considérer comme faisant partie d’une nouvelle catégorie de “nordistes”. Beaucoup des pro-blèmes que ces nordistes éprouvent à s’ajuster à la vie urbaine peuvent être retracés jusque dans les valeurs et les schèmes de comportement propres à leur ancienne vie de trappeurs. La situation se complique encore par la stratification sociale à laquelle contribuent les patterns d’établissement.
