Value

Arctic Recipes_001.jpg

There is no definite monetary value of this piece of ephemera as there is no listed price on piece itself but compareable items from the same time period it could cost anywhere between nine and dollars. This piece lacks sentimental value because of the use of dated and racist language  such as the term “eskimo” when referring to inuit peoples. Though this piece of ephemera is culturally insensitive, the research value of this piece is very significant. This gives historians an accurate insight on the societal treatment of Inuit peoples during the 50’s and 60’s in Canada. This would also be useful if one was doing research on the Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources because this piece is a direct publication from the department and might aid in giving incite on the political views of the department and government at the time.
