Muskox Land is a sprawling, impressive contribution to the
understanding of northern Canadian history. Prepared with a sharp
eye for contemporary historiographical trends and abundant
narrative detail, this study of Ellesmere Island provides an
unusually rich and complex description of the evolution of human
activity in a part of the country that few Canadians give more than
a passing thought --Ken Coates, The Canadian Historical Review
A significant contribution to Arctic history and anthropology . . .
The inclusion of aboriginal voices to the pre-eminent Euro /
American / Canadian histories is a welcome reprieve --Chris Paci,
�tudes/Inuit/Studies
The broad sweep of this book is most impressive, and the
scholarship is outstanding . . . [it] is a treasure trove of
information, and it is strongly recommended that it should be
read--and read again--by all interested in the Canadian Arctic in
general and in its Native people. --G. Hattersley-Smith, Arctic
