Abstract | The Nunavut Implementation Commission embraces the Internet as a community-development tool, and sees only positive implications for Inuit society. Studies show that information technologies have been both a tool for the promotion of Inuit culture and an agent of acculturation. Defines four theoretical stages that identify possible effects of the Internet on society. Lists Nunavut Web sites. (TD) |
