    What’s Your Name? The Eskimo Disc System and a Daughter’s Search for her Grandmother

    Norma Dunning

    When Dunning applied for her and her sons’ Nunavut beneficiary status, she was asked for her disc number. This led to an intense investigation into the Eskimo Identification Canada system and an obsession with finding disc lists, few of which were on public record. This book presents years of research, interviews with community members, and Dunning’s personal story to provide a critical record and response to this hidden history.
