This article argues that the objectification and naturalization of individuality are integral to the moral regulation of Inuit in contemporary Canadian society. After a review of existing literature which problematizes connections between individuality and power, and which positions education as a site for the production of individuality, the article presents a study of adult education in the Canadian Arctic. This study narrates the historical construction of individualized conceptualizations of Inuit in Euro-Canadian discourses concerning education, and of administrative structures through which state-organized adult education became possible in the Arctic. The article then documents the typical administrative practices of Arctic College adult educators, and identifies three indicators of Inuit resistance to adult education.read more
