No "insights"

Twice in the article, it says that Doddings's report "provided insights into contemporary attitudes of the English to indigenous people", but no such insights are provided. I propose either summarize them, or drop this. Mukogodo (talk) 13:14, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, I think they are implicit in the article but not stated explicitly. Rather than trim that point, which is stated in the sources, and referenced, I suggest the article be expanded to be more explicit about what the treatment of the Inuit demonstrated.
