Contains 120 Arctic photographs of the Inuit in the Canadian Eastern Arctic, revealing both a land and people in the midst of change. The author immersed herself in the Inuit culture and landscape and witnessed the Inuit world changing at lightning speed: traditional clothing, modes of transportation and homes were being transformed by the influence of Western mass culture. The photographs delicately record this rapidly changing world and the predicament of a people caught between two cultures: as well as showing the Inuit in their traditional way of life, they also emphasize the extent to which the Inuit were becoming reliant on the material culture of the South.
