Description
Summary:settler n In Inuit book, I believe this is a sociological category. They capitalized it to balance the clear ethnic groups Inuit and Indians. White men never use it. It may be a contrived "translation word" from some Eskimo term: it is scattered in the Eskimo excerpts. Always capitalized. One or two cites from the Moravians and earlier scholars are collected. Incidentally, Labradorian isn't in the book that I can see. I collected a few _Labrador people_ for use! B Good point about 'Settler'. I remember that we found our- selves quite unable to use Ben-Dor's ISER book cites be- cause of the same problem. G OCT 4 1979 Used I Used I Not used colonist, LIVYER, PLANTER, squatters
