Patterns of Activity-Induced Pathology in a Canadian Inuit Population

Aspects of degenerative and traumatic pathology were studied in a skeletal series of Hudson Bay Inuit recovered from the site of Tunirmiut at Native Point, Southampton Island, Northwest Territories in 1955 and 1959. From these studies of the Sadlermiut, a people who became extinct during the winter of 1902-03, twenty activity patterns which had the potential of leaving a permanent imprint on the skeleton were identified? Some of these common to humanity in general, some characteristic of all Inuit, and some unique to the Sadlermiut. Published in English.
