4.3.1   Webpages

There are many internet sites on the Inuit. Many are run by commercial  galleries selling Inuit art and artefacts on-line. Some contain background information on the Inuit and their culture, for example http://inuitgallery.com/home.html  the site of the  commercial Bayat Gallery which sells Inuit art as well as African Masks and Chineses scuptures on-line. The site provides a useful history of Inuit culture as well as links to other sites. Other sites are run by official organisations, academic institutions and by Inuit or aboriginal groups.

 

For our research we found the following sites useful:

 

http://www.oneworldmagazine.org/seek/nanook/nanostry.htm

A site on  Robert Flaherty’s “Nanook of the North”’ by motion picture historian and producer Alain Silver. The site includes a bibliography on Flaherty, a brief description of the film and of Flaherty's work, the availability of the 1972 film reconstruction of 'Nanook', critical revisions of the film and details of  the 1994 French dramatisation of the making of 'Nanook'.

The site is linked to One World Magazine.

 

http://www.british-museum.ac.uk/world/americas/americas.html

The official site of the British Museum details collections of historic and contemporary artefacts from North, Central and South America. The North America section covers the museum's collections of Native artefacts, colonial and post Independence objects influenced by Europe (including graphics and money), as well as modern applied arts. The Latin America section details Pre Hispanic cultures, money, science and conservation. Both North and Latin America pages link to the British Museum's children's web site 'Compass'

 

http://www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/ch/art/index_e.html

The official Indian and Northern Affairs, Canada site presents information on Indian and Inuit art. It is also a source of information for Indian and Inuit peoples and details the Northern Affairs Programme, Employment, Education, Other Programmes and Services, Sustainable Development and The Procurement Strategy for Aboriginal Businesses. The site also contains information about First Nation treaties signed with British and later Canadian governments before and after 1867 which provided for certain rights and payments, a very useful source of information.

This excellent site of the National Museum of the American Indian is part of the Smithsonian Institute web site. Named Conexus it presents the work, practice and beliefs of Native American peoples on several well illustrated pages.
