Abstract
The Inuit of Canada have suffered from a plethora of governmental interventions including relocations, residential schooling, and forced hospitalisation due to the tuberculosis epidemic. The hospitalisation of Inuit had a detrimental effect on individuals through physical abuse, disconnection from language and culture, and being removed from their families and communities. These government interventions are examples of structural violence that potentially cause both individual and collective trauma and are recounted through the personal narratives of Inuit Elders. In addition, the ethical concerns of conducting anthropological fieldwork on trauma and memory are investigated.
