About This Book

A firsthand study of life among the Arctic Eskimo of Baffin Land, based on more than a decade of close contact and observation. The book blends travel narrative and ethnographic description, covering the voyage and regional geography, seasonal flora and fauna, village construction, hunting and sealing practices, clothing and boat building, domestic roles and womanhood, dog husbandry, religious beliefs, and material culture. Practical techniques for survival and subsistence are detailed alongside accounts of social customs and community organization. Photographs and a map accompany the text to illuminate daily life and the adaptations required by an icebound environment.
