This chapter covers the early history of Nunavik, stressing that though Nunavik was merged with Quebec in 1912, the provincial government was absent from the territory for 5 decades. The chapter also covers how Quebec re-named many local places, governed with a heavy hand, and failed to provide services to its new territory.
