...'Kabloona' is a person who is not of Inuit ancestry, esp. a white person.  Those native to the Arctic, also often refer to white people as 'Southerners.'

The young heroine in my Back Tracker series was a Kabloona.  During her early childhood, her father was posted to an Arctic RCMP detachment.  Katrina lived there with her parents until the family returned to the South (Calgary) once Katrina reached school age.
