Government Era
- The next four sections we look at - Justice, Relief, Health and Education - can be confusing as these topics don’t follow a neat time line like the other topics we’ve looked at. Although we look at them separately, these three topics were all being acted on at the same time. We look at how the government got involved in these 4 topics during the period of the ‘20’s to the ‘50’s.
- In looking at this you begin to get a sense of how the government got drawn into the Arctic, and how this period laid the foundation of thinking for the bigger changes that were to come in the late 1950s when the government adopted a policy of “modernization” of the Arctic.
