| Summary: | Some aspects of cultural cross-breeding in the Belle Isle Strait region. This article, based on field work and on an analysis of published literature, describes a number of aspects of the mixed Inuit-European culture that has developed in the Belle Isle Strait region (eastern Canada) since the 18th century. The dog-team complex, borrowed from Inuit technology, is discussed in a more thorough way, because it constitutes an excellent example of cultural cross-breeding. The article aims at showing how this type of aboriginal cultural traits can strengthen the land claims of the local people, many of which have Inuit ancestors. |
