An Intimate Wilderness by Norman Hallendy
Arctic researcher, author, and photographer Norman Hallendy's journey to the far north began in 1958, when many Inuit, who traditionally lived on the land, were moving to permanent settlements created by the Canadian government. In this unique memoir, Hallendy writes of his adventures, experiences with strange Arctic phenomena, encounters with wildlife, and deep friendships with Inuit elders. Very few have worked so closely with the Inuit to document their traditions, and, in this book, Hallendy preserves their voices and paints an incomparable portrait of a vibrant culture in a remote landscape.
"Packed with stories, folklore and insights into a vanishing way of life" --Melanie McGrath, author of The Long Exile: A Tale of Inuit Betrayal and Survival in the High Arctic "With passion, conviction and humour, Hallendy offers us a window into a cultural realm that never ceases to astonish." --Wade Davis
