In short, Inuit co-ops are an important part of economic development in the community. Theyprovide employment opportunities for Inuit people, and pay somewhat higher than averagesalaries. With the greater participation of the co-ops in the daily lives of Inuit people, they willimprove their economic and social well being.Table 6.3 is similar to Table 6.2 except that it does not include Yellowknife. The rationale behindthis exclusion is that for some people, Yellowknife is “not” considered an Aboriginal city. WhenYellowknife is removed, the conclusions of this section are far more reinforced, showing that coopsdo make a significant difference in the lives of Aboriginal communities of the North.113
