Evangelical and Aboriginal Christianity on Baffin Island: A Case Study of Pond Inlet (Mittimatalik), 1929-1934

Abstract

This dissertation is interested primarily in defining the parameters of that physical and cultural gap between the Anglican missionaries and the Tununermiut, the traditional residents of that area, in their first five years at Pond Inlet (Mittimatalik). In framing this discussion not only in terms in history and society, but those of space as well, this dissertation reflects the growing awareness among social scientists of the ―simultaneity and interwoven complexity of the social, the historical, and the spatial, their inseparability and interdependence.
