The Chipewyan of the Stony Rapids Region, a Study of Their Changing World with Special Attention Focused Upon Caribou

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Institute For Northern Studies, University Of Saskatchewan, 1973. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. pp. 96. Slim 4to. Pictorial boards. Black-and-white maps, photographs, charts, tables, illustrations, et al. Light rubbing to the covers, library stamp and pocket affixed to the rear pastedown.

Evidence gathered suggests that for both the people of the Stony Rapids Region and the Beverly Herd of caribou: 1) traditional pursuit of trapping has fallen into disfavour and no one is living solely off the land; 2) the local village economy based on wage employment can support very few people above poverty level; 3) most native adults are dependent on welfare payments for several months of the year.
