Nuvuk
"The
Copper Inuit
of the
Coronation
Gulf region of
Canada's
Northwest
Territories
were among the
last
aboriginal
groups to be
contacted by
people from
outside,
mainly during
the early
years of the
20th century.
When Doctor
R.D. Martin
arrived in
Coppermine in
1929, he had
to deal with
one of the
consequences
of that
contact, a
tuberculosis
epidemic"
