The past twenty-five years have witnessed a significant increase in the ability of Inuit groups to defend local interests against the intrusions of their respective nation-state and, as a result, assume a greater degree of control over their own societies. Most of this increase can be attributed to a series of similar political development proces ses which have occurred throughout the Arctic largely in response to the conflict initiated by threats to the Inuit's mode of production and resource base.
