Abstract
The notion of social adaptation is increasingly encountered in ethnological studies dealing with indigenous peoples of the North. Peoples of the Arctic, which had long remained rather isolated and closed to external influences, over the course of the second half of the 20th century found themselves involved in the social, cultural, political, and economic structures of centralized states of the South. The sociocultural transformations of the past 50-60 years destroyed both the old problems and the ways of dealing with them, while generating the new ones which are yet to see any stable response. The author attempts to pinpoint the major contemporary problems of the Nunavut Eskimo society and examine the ways in which native Arctic populations adapt to new realities. Among those are the problem of political representation and identity, alcoholism, suicidal tendencies, youth integration issues, family violence, unemployment, and others.
