### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Wonderful and yet sad...
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2011*

When published in 1951 this book was a cry for help - not just to help the Ihalmiut but to help ourselves.  A well crafted book of one man's understanding, in a limited way, of the hard, harsh life of the Eskimos who live along side the deer, the lakes, and the spirits of the Barrens.  The book is full of his memories, some sad, some wonderful.  We get images of summer, with its life, the birds, eggs, and kids going out with toy slings to help gather food.  We learn about the way the People lived, worked, and loved inside their families and society.  We hear their tales of where they came from, how the animals were brought into the world by a woman, and how dangerous it is for men, both to their body and their soul, when they are all alone.  Once there were thousands of them - sharing their tools, enjoying the raw meat of the kill, enjoying the happiness of never needing anything.Wonderful.  Depressing.  Sad.  Lovely.  Is there anything we can still do about this?  Is there anything we can do for ourselves?

    Older than I am!
  

*by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2019*

This book was written about the time I was born (66 years ago). The People of the Deer were all but gone when this was written and I presume few, if any still exist today. I found it fascinating how much Farley learned from them about 'their' world, even as it was changing (not for the better) around them. My introduction to Mowat was as required college reading (only half a century ago) with "Never Cry Wolf", I should have continued reading his work then, when it was easier to locate, these days it can take some searching but the effort is worth it!

    Efficient expression of a mostly unknown people and land
  

*by B***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2014*

I was asked to read this book for a class and while I didn't enjoy it, I found this book to be charming and an altogether good read. It reads like a work of fiction, and definitely conveys stunning and other-worldly environments that seemed to be taken out of a Tolkien novel. I read Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy when this book was assigned and I found similarities between the environmental descriptions in those books (especially those in Red Mars) remarkably similar to those found in Mowat's volume. But what makes this book so impressive is that it isn't fiction, but an expression of a reality that, sadly, no longer exists and offers intriguing questions about the state's involvement in the lives of indigenous people. Very good, read it if you get the chance.
