Project Description: Ms. Dorothy Eber is to work through interpreters in Pond Inlet in gathering oral history related to whaling in Baffin Island, Hudson Bay and the Strait. She hopes to integrate the oral history into the historical context of existing information. Due to weather problems she did not travel to Pangnirtung but received material which can be incorporated along with the oral histories.
