Maguire, Mary H.; McAlpine, Lynn
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v42 n3 p218-37 Sep 1996

White "mainstream" researchers describe the challenges of striving to understand culture, change, and success in the school and community, and focus on the shifting social, linguistic, economic, and political boundaries that impinge on Inuit and white cultural frames of reference.
