We Need to Know Who We Are is the story of Paul Aarulaaq Quassa's journey through life. The story is important for those interested in the history, make-up, and future of Canada, for Paul had a truly significant role in negotiating the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, and he maintains trenchant views on the still unfulfilled promise of Nunavut. A relaxed and conversational text is supported by formal, expansive footnotes that stress dates, places, times, people, and events.
