Un/covering the north : news, media and aboriginal people / Valerie Alia.
A chronology of developments in communications in Canadian Arctic, sub-Arctic, and circumpolar regions (shown on maps) prefaces a discussion of "Southern exposure" media portrayals of aboriginals. The final chapter looks at future directions challenging the colonial mentality. B&w illustrations include a politically incorrect cartoon, magazine covers, and remote satellite dish installations. Appended materials include a statement of principles from the Native News Network of Canada; and catalogues of northern community media resources, and broadcast sites for Television Northern Canada.
