Hi Green!
I apologize about jumping on the band-wagon so late . . .
For information about the Inuit, who have a long tradition of musical
(poetic) performance, and other natives in Canada, you might look for
the following resources:
Canadian savage folk: the native tribes of Canada / by John Maclean.
(Maclean, John, 1851-1928)
"Comparisons within a culture: the example of the Katajjaq of the Inuit"
/ by George D. Sawa / In Cross-cultural perspectives on music / edited
by Robert Falck and Timothy Rice (Toronto : University of Toronto Press,
c1982.)
A historical and interpretive study of Inuit drum dance in the Canadian
central Arctic: the meaning expressed in dance, culture and performance
/ by K. Patricia Dewar. (Dewar, Kathleen Patricia, 1938-)
Songs are thoughts : poems of the Inuit / edited with an introduction by
Neil Philip; illustrated by Maryclare Foa. (Toronto : Doubleday Canada,
1995.)
Arctic odyssey : the diary of Diamond Jenness, ethnologist with the
Canadian Arctic Expedition in Northern Alaska and Canada, 1913-1916 /
edited and annotated by Stuart E. Jenness; with a foreword by William E.
Taylor, Jr. (Hull, Quebec : Canadian Museum of Civilization, c1991.)
Eskimo songs and stories / Collected by Knud Rasmussen on the fifth
Thule Expedition. Selected and translated by Edward Field. With ill. by

Hope these are of interest.
