To communicate the little-known reality of the Inuit

To begin, all the previous texts were to serve to communicate the little-known reality of the Inuit people through their conditions of life. During my research, I realized that the history of many indigenous peoples were alike. The texts thus became more general, however, keeping in mind the real distinctions of far-away communities living away from one another affected by very similar problems. An example of these differences relates to Inuit communities. No roads, no judges, no equal opportunities for employment, but with the same tax obligations as all other Quebecers.  Their nordicity is not served very well in Nunavik: racism and discrimination don't set the tone for human rights.

Housing in Nunavik affects all aspects of an individual's life

While "overcrowding" is both a cause and an effect, it is still possible to delineate the main causes of overcrowding in Nunavik. This has a ripple effect on all the members of the household, including the children: stress, incest, the inability of children to study because there is no privacy, beating of wives and children, quarreling and yelling.
