Ayorama"They live in the Canadian Central Arctic and they call themselves the Krangmalit, or the People Beyond. Their tribe embraces a number of groups with equally fascinating names: the People on the Back of the Earth, the People of the Bay, the Tom-Cod Eaters, the People of the Caribou Antlers, the Far-Away People, the People of the Falls, the People of the Rich Fishing Grounds, the Berry Eaters, the People at the Bottom of the Inlet, and the People of the Musk-Ox. The last two groups are perhaps the least known of them all, because few explorers have ever penetrated into their traditional wintering grounds around the deep fjords of Bathurst Inlet. The intimate day-to-day life of these primitive polar people, as seen through the eyes of a missionary who spend twelve years among them, is told in the follow pages."-- Preface. |
