James discusses the polarity of the Inuit perspective on polar bears and the scientific one. Perhaps scientists have gotten it wrong as they are not there year round to fully understand it. Regardless of this the scientific community is often taken as gospel. Traditional knowledge is seen as anecdotal and biased especially in terms of wildlife management where the Inuit have an interest in hunting the animals in question.
