A 1923 murder trial was an attempt by the Canadian government to establish control in the North, by staging a court case where "the goal was simply to execute some Inuit," according to an author and forensic anthropologist.
Pugnana was responsible for a shooting battle that had left five Inuit dead, and was now seen by elders as a threat to the security of their community, in Kent Peninsula, in what is now Nunavut. Following the rules of Inuit justice at the time, the elders ordered Alikomiak and Tatamigana to kill him.
Doak didn't have a holding cell — the RCMP had only been in the area for three years — so he kept Alikomiak in line by punching him, and making him do menial tasks for the detachment.
