Oh shit I thought that doc was an indictment not a defense.
The RCMP systematically exterminated dog teams that were used for transportation etc. very effectively destroying the ability for those communities to be self sufficient.
When the dogs were killed, Inuit were abruptly forced into settlements, adopting a non-Inuk way of life that severed their vital connection to the animals, land, and sea, as well as the traditions that had been passed down for as long as can be remembered.
This should be a better account of the impact of this.

This reads like “we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong”
