Both men confessed to the crime through a police interpreter, though the "confession" was highly questionable. The Canadian government used the case to plant their flag in the north, but the trial quickly became a master class in judicial error. Correspondence among the key players reveals that the trial's outcome was decided months before the court was even convened. Authorities were so certain of a conviction that the executioner and gallows were sent north before the trial began. The precedent established Canada's legal relationship with the Inuit, who would spend the next seventy-seven years fighting to regain their autonomy and Indigenous rule of law. Drawing on documents long buried in restricted files in the National Archives, The Court of Better Fiction reveals the disgraceful incident and its fallout in unprecedented detail."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Tatamigana, $d -1924. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2019000380 600 00 $a Alikomiak, $d -1924. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2019000533 650 0 $a Murder $z Nunavut. 650 0 $a Trials (Murder) $z Yukon. 650 0 $a Inuit $z Canada $x Government relations. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008124077 650 0 $a Inuit $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Canada. 651 0 $a Canada $x Ethnic relations. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008100847 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Inuit $x Government relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977882 650 7 $a Inuit $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977892 650 7 $a Murder. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029781 650 7 $a Trials (Murder) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156368 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 651 7 $a Nunavut. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01287524 651 7 $a Yukon. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01892691 776 08 $i Online version: $a Komar, Debra, 1965- $t Court of better fiction. $d Toronto : Dundurn, 2019 $z 9781459744097 $z 9781459744097 $w (OCoLC)1079910261 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013438.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC5A0C200C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
