The Great Hunt has shaped human existence for over 50, 000 years, creating a spiritual reality where people, animals, and the land share intimate bonds. Larry Frolick takes us deep into one of the last refuges of hunting society: Canada's far north. The author travelled five years with First Nations Elders in remote communities across the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut, experiencing the raw power of their ancient traditions. His vivid narrative combines accounts of daily life, unpublished archival records, current scientific research, First Nations myths, and personal observation to illuminate the complex relationship between the northern wilderness and its people.
