In this ethnography of the contemporary lived experience of Inuit in Arviat, Nunavut, van den Scott examines the relationship between colonialism and the built environment. As she introduces a sociology of walls, she acknowledges how people in Arviat are both oppressed by their Western walls and perform resilience within them.
